Louby76 exactly plus if we have overpayments that we are paying back it will work out more than 100 pound a month. Omg by next year I will be struggling a lot.

MissE84 · 08/07/2015 20:13

Louby76, I need to start searching for a rich man hahhahahahahahaha.

MissE84 · 08/07/2015 20:15

zolabud81 · 08/07/2015 20:17

12fedup12 · 08/07/2015 20:18

Zola If they said takes 48 hours to update try not to worry and call again on Friday morning

zolabud81 · 08/07/2015 20:21

I know I'm worried but my renewal was finalised they had there proof that's what the concentrix case was about so all this is a change as they had my partner on a tiny income that's all

12fedup12 · 08/07/2015 20:22

I'm sure it's fine Zola like you said case is closed and renewal is finalised I don't think you need to worry

Louby76 · 08/07/2015 20:40

MissE84 I've been doing that for years & no luck as yet!!! Grin

babyalan13 · 08/07/2015 20:40

It says I'll be worse of by 1400!! Wtf. Not impressed!!!

Louby76 · 08/07/2015 20:45

It's criminal.. We all work I think it's so unfair. I work for the NHS so a poxy 1% pay rise for the next 4 years as well! I'm hardly going to recoup what I lose with that! Sad

Hello, Morgan, how are you doing? I tried to ring concentrix today but gave up after 40 mins, (too much money!) I got my weekly payment on Tuesday but mine has now been going on for 7 weeks. I renewed on the phone May 2nd, got Concentrix letter My 22nd, sent my documents away May 22nd. Got my docs returned with letter saying we will contact you soon June 22, (dated June 6th) and nothing since. Morgan, yours was similar to mine. I'm too afraid to ring HMRC cos last time they referred me back to concentrix. Should I be worried? Would they still be paying me? Those of you who are aware of my situation know the stress I'm under and waiting on the phone makes me ill. If I get a letter I can deal with it but the waiting is killing me. The budget, oh girls! The peasants are indeed revolting to this Government, the rich get richer. Labour needs a Tony Blair. I think poor Ed lacked charm, charisma and the pull factor. We are all going to be so poor. I can not believe a couple earning 15000 a year each are going to lose tax credits and have to pay more rent. How is this helping the working poor? There was nothing in the budget for me or any of my friends. Is anyone opposing this? an any one stop it? What about famous u turns?

Louby76 · 08/07/2015 20:51

I can't see them making any u turns with this. Sad

& actually someone mentioned earlier about the disability element. Is that being taken away? I don't have a disabled child but I do pay childcare charges...those 2 elements haven't been mentioned have they? So is the calculator actually an accurate picture for all?

Bunnyjo · 08/07/2015 21:17

The calculator isn't accurate - it doesn't take into account whether earnings will increase as a result of the NMW rise for a start...

Louby76 · 08/07/2015 21:42

I guess it's a guide. We won't know til the time comes

smokie19 · 08/07/2015 21:55

i dont get minimum wage but did calculate it on what my income would be for a yr, but i di get disability element as have child on high rate disability, i cnt see how can really calculate it properley, what a head doer grrrr

Chrissy4321 · 08/07/2015 22:09

I calculated it at present wage and at the new minimum wage. I lost more tax credit when wage increases. So either way it's inevitable that we will lose money and be worse off.

smokie19 · 08/07/2015 22:35

yep defo be worse off, probably unemployed will be bettr off then us by time comes in

Mel25murf · 08/07/2015 23:10

Zolabud, if they had your partner down as working. It he doesn't and you worked less than 30 hours But we're getting a 30 hour element then you might have an overpayment in that instance, but not necessarily so! I would use this calculator to check what you got and what you should have got to see what the difference might be!

Mel25murf · 08/07/2015 23:13

We are going to lose out by about 25 a week! Fu@# that sh!t! Honestly they are screwing us every which way. If you claim hosuing benefit, does it mean you'll just get more housing benefit if your tax credits are cut? Plus I think some of us might be able to now claim housing benefit when we weren't eligible before!

smokie19 · 08/07/2015 23:21

would have thought you would as goes on earnings, i have mortgage so dbt qualify, i do however get a guardianship allowence off ss which i use for hols for the baine or anything he needs looks like will have ta use that to live on ,

cazzymog · 09/07/2015 00:09

£30 a week lose for me according to calculator Sad. I can't work any more hours then I do as I work in a school and am paid term time only. Do I find another job or find extra work in the school hols to make up the 1550 a year short fall!! Will put people off becoming TA's

MissE84 · 09/07/2015 08:02

Mel25murf yes we will get more housing benefit towards our rent.

Louby76 · 09/07/2015 08:45

mumdad5 · 09/07/2015 12:03
