Was your letter from compliance team? Mine was which meant I had to provide them with info they had asked for, childcare contracts, bank statements, utility bills etc. If they have not asked you then I would call them up to ask them to clarify. It sounds like you have made a genuine error so best to speak to them and give them your income details as it will prob be amended in April anyway!

I have declared the wrong income for the last 3 times so don't think its going to be that simple. Mine was from a compliance officer but just says if they don't hear from me thay will amend my award withthe info they have??

Maryj's compliance review is looking at something entirely different to yours, so it isn't dealt with in the same way.

 

You are not required to provide any information unless you want to do so voluntarily. Yours is an 'income enquiry' by the compliance team, which is fairly straightforward.

 

Maryj's is a compliance 'examination' which means that they needed her to send information to them to review her entire claim.

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field. If requested, I will provide a link where possible to relevant legislation or guidance, so that advice provided can be confirmed and I do encourage others to follow those links for their own peace of mind. Sometimes my advice is not what people necesserily want to hear, but I will advise on facts as I know them - although it may not be what a person wants to hear it helps to know where you stand. Advice on the internet should never be a substitute for advice from your own legal professional with full knowledge of your individual case.

 

 

Please do not seek, offer or produce advice on a consumer issue via private message; it is against

forum rules to advise via private message, therefore pm's requesting private advice will not receive a response.

I have to make a decision as this keeps going round in my head. Its so hard, I've drafted a letter explaining all but don't know if I should send it or wait to see what happens??? See if they ask for anything and if they do then disclose all??? Its not that I don't want to pay it back, I do - I'm just so very scared of the outcome. I've also made a list of my income and outgoings. Should I give them that information or again wait for the outcome. Feel like disappearing, I'm so stupid!!!

Yes that is correct although it was an enquiry for 1 year and a review for another. I think they are wanting you to clarify your income details as it doesn't match what they have. They will have your correct income so you will just have to say you have made a mistake which was ignorance on your part and not intentional as it sounds like you have been unclear about your increase etc. They will prob want to recalculate to work out any overpayment.

 

All you can do is phone to give correct income and I'm sure if they want further info they will ask. From what I have read on here it is best to speak to them so you can match up the info they have and then your award will be sorted out.

If the income that they have stated they hold for you in the letter is correct, you do not need to contact them, they are not requesting disclosure. Only contact them if the income they hold for you stated in the letter is incorrect, or if they contact you later asking you to provide information.

Thank you so so much ErikaPNP, you have been a tremendous help to me. I can't thank you enough for you advice. I will keep you informed of any outcome/developments. Fingers crossed all will be ok!

 

Thank you to everyone for their support in this. I don't think I could cope at all without you. Not that I'm coping well but am better than I would have been on my own!!!

If it says in the letter that it is about income for 2011 then just give them what it is for this year as they have not asked for anything else so don't assume they have it wrong for past 3 years.

 

Good luck with it and keep us posted

As I said earlier, you do not have to contact them, or give them anything unless they ask for it or you disagree with the income figure they say that they hold. Maryj, I know you mean well but please do bear in mind that sososcared's case is very different to yours; it's an entirely different type of enquiry. Benefit issues are never a one-size-fits-all. What is applicable in your case, is not necessarily applicable in another tax credit case. The wrong information, however well meaning can be extremely damaging to a person's case.

So I wait and see what they come back to me with... Hope they just amend my award to what it should be and ask for overpayment to be paid for year 2010-11 and for what ever has been overpayed this year...

 

That has to be your decision. They are not asking you for anything more at this stage are they. As long as they have the correct details for 10/11, they're asking you to let them know if they haven't got that right. If they are assuming you earnt more than you actually did in that year, you need to let them know, or they could amend things in the wrong direction hun!

Glad you're feeling better today though. I know exactly how you're feeling & the awful thoughts that go through your head are enough to send your blood pressure souring. It's going to be fine though, it just doesn't seem that way at the moment. Hang in there & stay strong & you'll know what I mean in time.

They have got the right details for 2010-11 due to them finding them, not me telling them. My declared income was different which is why they wrote to me (I gave wrong income on declaration). No they haven't asked for anything else at the moment. When I've looked back through the papers I've found I have discovered my declared income has been different than my actual income for the past 3 declarations (2009, 10 &11).

I think the docs is a good idea. I had some Diazapam at the time & it did help. The doc gave me about 10 pills that's all. Mind still races but I figured it would have been even worse without. You'll just make yourself ill if you don't sleep & stress constantly x

Speaking as a psych nurse the doctor is most certainly priority. Reading all your posts it would seem you have other issues and the tax credits has been the last straw? If you are having thoughts to harm yourself you can also go to your local a&e for help as many areas have an outreach team that work from a&e. You are not alone and once you have help they will also be able to help advocate between you and the tax credit office but your priority must be yourself first

My bro is on those, they're good. I was given them years ago but couldn't take them as I got freaky side affects after 2 days. Very rare though. Hope they make you feel a bit better xx

Oh, what side effects?

 

Not a common one hun, I just had strange burning sensations going through my body & feeling feint. I just found it scarey as it was in the middle of the night. Was told they would pass after a couple of weeks but my kids were real young then & I couldn't face having that for 2 weeks! My bro didn't have side affects, no one that I knew that's had them had any either. So I bet you wont.

I don't think I really needed them though, I had just split from someone & wasn't coping too well, but I don't think I was depressed, & wasn't anxious, was just sad really, which is possibly why I got the side affects, I don't know. I don't think the doc should have given me them though. x

Aw, sorry you went through such a bad time. Slitting can be so painful - I remember it well! Have had seroxat before and I found that good but they say it can give you suicidal thoughts - like I need more of those....
