Tax credits back payment and HB/CT was created by SherryCatMum
Hi everyone, My teen has just been awarded enhanced PIP for both Mobility and Care with a review after 3 years, so I contacted HMRC to advise of claim start and letter notice, they are going to backdate my WTC and CTC by by 16 weeks, will this lump sum affect any previous HB/CTC calculations ie : will I owe HB/CTC backpay because of this backdate of WTC/CTC?

Many thanks

Hi SherryChloeMum

Welcome to the forum.

You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum

In some cases, this payment is not counted as savings for one year and will not affect your income related or means tested benefits during this time, such as UC.

However, where benefits have been underpaid because of:

* an official error
* an error on point of law

Any payments over £5,000 can be disregarded for the length of the claim or until the award ends.
