Working tax credit - are we being overpaid?

[CanIhavedessertfirst]

I've had issues with tax credits in the past, with them over paying me, etc and now I'm paranoid this is about to happen again.

Long story short, husband recently started a new job, after long term illness, job is 38 hours/week at minumum wage, meaning his yearly salary is £15552 before tax.

Anyway, updated my tax credits claim and, as I expected, my child tax stays the same and is due to be paid as normal, but they are also paying working tax credits, two one off payments of £406.10 and £375.56 and then £375.53 every 4 weeks.

I'm just wanting some advice on this, I've rang and queried it and the gentleman laughed at me, saying that's what has been calculated from the info I gave. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Do you work ? It sounds high. the cut off for working tax credits is around 17k I think so you are not far off that. Do they know your estimated income for this year.?

That does sound a little high for WTC.
I often use the HMRC calculator to double-check my payments, so you could try that too?
Or I can calculate it for you if you're happy to give a few more details?
I'm always paranoid about overpayments lol, so I've become a fairly dab hand at spotting issues.

I don't work, only my husband does. I have given them all my information twice (the first person didn't actually update my account, so I had a phonecall from them on Saturday).

I know the first payment would include some back dated money, but even so, it seems like a hell of a lot. It annoys me that they don't actually take overpayments seriously and yet give you a deadline to pay them back for their error!
