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

[JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows]

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

@FortniteBoysMum you should qualify, go on live chat on Monday.

We've just received a letter to say we will receive this.. I thought it was only if you had a positive Covid test!

Also has anyone received their tax credits renewal pack in the post yet? Are they only doing these online now? If so we never received a reminder and we are set up with an online account.
Thanks

Mine says my renewal pack hasn't been sent out yet

@BooseysMom I thought it was only if you had a positive Covid test!
That’s something completely different, if you can’t work due to self isolating and are not paid by your employer .

@MyDcAreMarvel.. thanks. I just didn't realise it would be paid regardless. A nice surprise anyway

I didn't get the text but revived a letter today explaining there was a £500 payment and that I was eligible - nearly a week after I got the payment. Bit of a waste of paper 😆

Any one eligible and not received there payment... Mines been sent for a referral.. Just wondering if anyone be else has experienced this and how long it took for payment

We get nil award for wtc, always have done as earn too much to qualify. We got the payment about 10 days ago and letter arrived this week.

Have u heard anything yet. My friend is in the same situation.
