quick tax credit qu
in Baby
Hi just a quick question. my boy is nearly 7 weeks, can you claim tax credits whilst we are on mat leave and not actually paying anything out for childcare yet? I'm not sure what I will be returning to do at work yet so consequently what I will be paying for childcare. Does this matter?
I don't really understand.
Many thanks SE x

HTH and get that application in! lol
I waited till bubba was 10 months to fill my form in cos no one told me you got quite a bit more in first year of birth and because i filled the calculator in online and I misread it thinking i'd get ??10 a month so thought i couldnt be bothered. So i've missed out on 7 months of ??25 a week, gutted!! Get that application in!!

by the way starryeyed, tax credits helpline is a mess. i was on hold for 25 minutes before i got put through to someone. i know a few people who have just got the message to call back another time.
thx for the advice ladies

And, on the 2 for 1 thing - this is something TAMBA (Twins and Multiple Birth Assoc) are campaigning for, as CB is paid on 1st and 2nd child basis. Fair enough if I had chosen to have my 2nd child (not that I would EVER say I didnt want both my boys, iykwim) but I didnt and yet we get 'benefits' as if we did.
