Nope, we don't get a penny. We are currently appealing an overpayment, which was the result of THEIR clerical errors, so they cancelled our Child Tax Credit. And we have the proof the mistakes were theirs. But the appeal is taking forever - the adjudicator and our MP are both involved. So no tax credits for us.
DH had to go out and get an evening/weekend job when they cut our credits, as we were living on a gross income of just £13,200/pa for all three of us in the third most expensive city in the UK behind London and Bristol - which after taxes and NI put us below the poverty line. As soon as he got working, I wrote them a recorded delivery letter informing them of that and his wage so as not to incur anymore 'overpayment'.
And after the appeal is done, we're not going to bother applying for them anymore, even after this baby is born. When we get the results of the appeal, I'm sending them a letter telling them to cancel ANY claim we have pending and not to send us another pence.
Their errors and demands for money and living in fear that we'll get another overpayment problem when we live so hand to mouth have resulted in my developing panic attacks and needing tranquilisers and medication. NO amount of money is worth that, IMO. We'd rather just both have normal PAYE jobs and then at least we know what we get is ours.
So no, we're getting nothing and never want to deal with them again.
