Update:
I telephoned 2 weeks ago demanding this be sorted out that day as I was tired of being fobbed off, only to be told by a young lad that he was passing my case back down to my local IR Office for an urgent review. I Waited a week and telephoned again to be told that they had passed it down as agreed but there was no update as yet.
Then the day after I had called my local office wrote me a letter stating that the Childrens Tax Relief claims were currently being looked into and if I needed any further advice then I could contact them on a new number.
This morning they sent me another letter and it states (after almost 6 months and at least 10
phone calls) that my husband received the money as part of his tax code for both years in question. The lady says that If I dispute this then its up to us to prove otherwise within 30 days or she will close the case.
Now this is where I am stuffed, because I am sure I sent the p45's off to them initially as requested and now I don't have them, and they said they haven't go them either.
I am 80% sure that we havent received this benefit during 02/03 as previously 2 seperate operators in Yprkshire have told me that we didn't receive it, and one of them even gave me the breakdown of what I would be getting.
Now I feel this is a ploy to put me off but I need to know if there is a way I can obtain duplicate p45's for the tax years 2001/2 and 2002/3
Thanks
