I had the bright idea of waitin til brooke was 6 weeks old b4 applyin 4 my tax credits so that i'd get it backdated n get a nice little lump sum b4 gettin it weekly! Anyway she's now 8 weeks n i've not heard anythin from the tax credits people yet! I'm still gettin paid from work so i'm not destitute just yet but just wondered if any1 remembers how long theirs took? X

Mine took 2 months. I phoned them cos i had not heard anything and a payment was due to be made the next day. They did back date it all.

Mine took about 2 weeks as I already had a child, so they just added Jack onto claim.

mine took about 5-6 weeks to come through, but i phoned them alot, so might be worth you ringing them and checking on it

Mine took about 4 weeks. I didnt apply til LO was 6 weeks old. Didnt send the form back til he was 12 weeks, silly mommy. I didnt have any probs at all with them. Gotta tell them im going back to work soon.
