thank you for this and will definatley be taking your advice regarding writing. I do have gp letters that will back this up. How much were you overpaid?

hi i have not yet sent all my paperwork in as my deadline is 13th july to submit all the paperwork but am very worried about submitting it all

Hi to 'iminsuchamess' I recieved the same letter this morning and am rather worried about my tax credit award for the last financial year. I work full time, and have 2 young daughters and whilst my nursery fees were accurate, i failed to tell them that i withdrew my eldest child out of nursery for 6 months whilst looking after my second child (partly as I suffered with post natal depression and recovery from c-section was slower than anticipated) Have you had an outcome yet regarding your overpayments/costs? Or heard anything at all since the letter from them? I am worried about affording any kind of overpayment with childcare being so expensive and would be really useful if you had any further information. Reading through things on line it seems very common at the moment with the government cracking down on this kind of thing, so I can only assume that this will mean no criminal convictions, due to the number of people probably in this same situation.
