You made your first claim in December 2012?

made my first claim dec 2011 is this what you meant lol x

No your last sentence threw me as that's when you said you'd claimed. But I was very tired at that time. the best thing you can do is ring them because it seems a bit confusing (have worked for HMRC in the past but nothing to do with tax credits).

Actually, looking again the figure you're due for 12/13 (can't double check cos on phone) will be from April 12 to April 13. The final figures aren't done until later (June July time) because that's usually when final income figures for the previous year are known. So the 'minus some hundred and odd' figure you have is what you've received from April this year. Hope this is clear.
