£500 one off payment tax credits.

[Hey2492]

Apologies for not posting in the right area but thought it may reach a lot of people!

Dp got a text today to say that one off payments of £500 are being paid by 23rd April. I didn’t think we would be eligible. Is it just a generic text sent to everyone or just those entitled? I thought it was only for those on working tax credits, we only get child tax credits I believe.

To clarify. Dp works and has worked all the way through the pandemic and earns around £30,000 a year. I am currently a stay at home mum to out two children who both have additional needs. The bulk of our child tax credits are based on my children receiving disability living allowance rather than dp’s earnings. We do get some based on his earnings though.

I am really clueless 😂 I thought tax credits were eventually being changed over to universal credit too. We still get ‘tax credits’ and not universal credit.

Advice for a confused mum.

We own our own home and don’t get any other benefits apart from the DLA my children get and the tax credits (obviously child benefit too). £500 would be very appreciated!

Tia.

Barclays my Monday payments always go in on a Saturday x

Mine is in too. Also Barclays.

Mines in and I’m with Barclays

No letter, no text, no email but money went into my account yesterday

Same here.

Mines in today, also with Barclays, surname at end of alphabet and lives north east but in doubt theres any method to it

Mines also in- hurrah!

Nothing for me :( Nationwide.

Nothing here, santander.

Nothing here - nationwide x

Nothing - lloyds

Mine is in too and I’m Barclays

In yesterday - we are not reapplying for CTC as we were only getting about 30 a month and the stress it has caused in the past has been too much!! Once they accused us of being overpaid by £5000, which was the equivalent of having an extra child! I had to go to an appeal and it was one of the worst experiences of my life - and I'm a pretty tough old bird. Its such a horrible system which relies on people not really understanding it

@Lepetitpiggy I know what you mean. I once had to pay back 2k and then two years later was told I not been paid enough and given 3k in a lump sum. Its stressful

Very!

My payment has gone in today

Mines going in tomorrow and I’m with HSBC

Mine went in Thursday - Barclays

I got the text 31 March but nothing yet for me yet, am with lloyds and get child tax credits every thurs

Do you get this if you just get child tax credits?

Yes

Mine's in too - NW Bank. Thank you HMRC Tax Credits.

Haven’t received ours. I’ve had the txt, wondered if it will possibly go in tomorrow? That’s If we get it at all🙈

I’m with NatWest

Still not in. Nationwide.

We're not eligible for it this year as just over the income threshold, but did get a bit last year/start of this. Last payment on 29th March 2021.

Anyone want to hazard a guess if it'll come in or if we've just missed it?
