Tax credits automatically renewed

Has anyone else had this?

My tax credits aren't straightforward due to how my pension is paid. Every year is a long winded nightmare where I have to submit proof of my contributions and it generally takes until October/November to finalise. They usually drop considerably around this time. They haven't. They've gone up. This is despite me not telling them what I've paid into my pension which I always have to do as the details are not shown on my P60.

The other day the app said to expect my renewal pack. Today it is saying as completed. My concern is I don't feel it is correct and I don't want them to use incorrect figures where I end up owning them.

Should I wait for the paperwork to arrive or should I call?

I recently changed jobs and have notified them. It's abit more than what I was earning but I will still qualify for TCs which is why I think even more the figures are wrong. I've calculated a drop. Not an increase.

I really dont want to be overpaid. Has anyone else had this?

Yes I have and have read it's an error. There is a really good Facebook page called universal credit and legacy benefits advice which is very useful

Thanks for letting me know. When I saw it I knew it was an error but I'm not looking forward to the battle to get it sorted now I know it is.
How annoying. This isn't what I need (or anyone else for that matter)
