Tax credit - anyone got a date for the £500 payment yet?

I see a lot of tax credit recipients will be getting a £500 lump sum rather than the £20 a week - but has anyone had it yet or had a date for it? I get a small amount of tax credits and can't figure out if I'm eligible for the £500

I reported a change due to corona virus which i now know i shouldnt have done but it meant my working tax stopped 😔 i called up o on the 8th march and my working tax was backdated a month.
Does anybody know if i will receive the 500 payment

@nevernotstruggling

Is anyone still waiting?
Yes, I'm still waiting. I'm with Santander. Mine usually goes in on a Tuesday night ready for Wednesday morning.

It mustn't go by when you get your normal payment as i got my tax credits on Friday and still no 500

nevernotstruggling · 18/04/2021 19:53

I've had my usual tc payment. I usually get it on the second Tuesday

Ashleighcm · 18/04/2021 19:55

Maybe it'll b in by the morning hopefully

FanPanCan · 18/04/2021 22:22

My normal payment day is Friday, I'm still waiting. Fingers firmly crossed for tomorrow!

StormBaby · 18/04/2021 22:29

@UnsolicitedDickPic I’m with Santander and it’s just gone in 👍🏼

Beehappy21 · 19/04/2021 00:37

I'm with nationwide, usual CTC day is Tuesday, mines just gone in x

ElGuardiandenoche · 19/04/2021 01:54

My £500 and my CTC's went in just after midnight tonight/this morning and that's with the Halifax.

katmarie · 19/04/2021 05:54

Mine appeared overnight :)

Ashleighcm · 19/04/2021 06:19

Mine in too

JengaJuice · 19/04/2021 06:39

My payment went in just after midnight (Lloyds) - single parent, eligible for WTC but nil due to income, receive some CTC, just for anyone that might be in a similar position!

TopBitchoftheWitches · 19/04/2021 06:45

Still nothing here. I don't think I will get it due to zero hours contract.

whiteshark · 19/04/2021 06:49

Mine went in last night.

cookiecreampie · 19/04/2021 06:56

Mine went in also just after midnight. I wasn't sure if I would receive it because we have never had working tax because DH apparently earns too much but I get child tax credit.

UnsolicitedDickPic · 19/04/2021 07:38

Mine's gone in - Santander. Nice start to the week! Grin

UnsolicitedDickPic · 19/04/2021 07:39

@StormBaby Thank you for the heads up! I was already in the Land of Nod by then, probably a good thing or I'd have obsessively checked the app all night until it turned up.

nevernotstruggling · 19/04/2021 08:05

Halifax mine has finally arrived!!! I am astonished!!!!

Jedsmama · 19/04/2021 08:53

Mines in. I'm with lloyds. 😀

misskick · 19/04/2021 11:18

Mine didn't go in with my usual tax credit payments for those still waiting, it went in on the Friday.

TalkingIntoTheEther · 19/04/2021 13:59

Mine went in this morning, my usual day for payment is Wednesday. I get CTC but no WTC. Never received a text message or letter.

Ellenthegenerous · 19/04/2021 15:13

Mine also went in today. I am so grateful right now!

Bonkerz · 19/04/2021 17:06

Just logged in thinking I'd be close to overdraft (need to buy birthday presents) and shocked to see mine has gone in. Super grateful.

FanPanCan · 19/04/2021 20:07

Mine went on today, perfect timing! So skint!

TheDeckchairGardener · 20/04/2021 10:58

I’m pretty sure I am eligible for this but haven’t received a text or letter and still no payment into my account. I know they said payments will be made by April 23rd so still got a few more days to wait.

Anyone else still waiting?
