i just tried contacting tax credits to inform them i have been awarded esa work related rate and have received a lump sum back and i was told i needed to know how many weeks this award was for and give a estimate of the yrs esa payments which i tried to do but the man i was speaking to couldnt understand me and i couldnt understand him in the end i said i would call back. Does the fact i know recieve esa mean i am going to lose a lump of my tax credits? Any advise would be great x
