Hi
I have been claiming IS for about 18 months. My wife in April 08 started a part time job working 17.5 hours per week and as such, we could still claim IS of about £25 per week but more importantly, our mortgageicon got paid.

I had a review today and the lady said, are you claiming WFTC and I said no, only the CTC. She advised me to phone the tax credit office and explain.

I phoned and the man who took the details said yes, it sounds like you will be in for an increase, it takes 4 days to sort the reward so phone back Monday.

Can anyone advise IF this would be backdated to April when my wife started to work

Thanks
