Hi,

i recieved my first tax credit payments today so am currently downloading a sure start grant form to hopefully get the £500. how long did it take for them to pay that?
Also....it seems a weird time of the months to pay tax credits (13th today)....am i right in thinking this was a back payment from last month? does it usually go in the same time as child benefit?

hope your well x

Hi Del,

well done on your first payment! we have our 1st regular one due next week -yay cos we are skint!!

We got our sure start grant the week after our tax credits came through but that is only cos we applied before tax credits were awarded and then phoned when it was awarded, they checked this on their computer and sent the payment.

i would give it a couple of weeks from when you send your form and give them a call to chase. shouldn't take too long but depends on backlogs etc of that office.

what usually happens with tax credits and child benefits etc is you get a 1st payment once they have processed it which may be an odd amount and then you will start to get regular payments, usually every 4 weeks. i would give them a call and they can tell you when you will get your payments and the amounts, unless you have your letter already as it is on the letter. same applies with child benefit, every 4 weeks you will get £75.20, but your first payment may not have been for that amount, and even your 2nd one as the amount changed from 6.4.08 so you will have a payment for partly the old rate and part the new.

we get our child benefit one week and the tax credits the next but everyone is prob different depending on when your claim starts from and when it was processed.

HTH?

hope you ok hun?
