Tax credits - new claim

**Arcanegirl** · May 18th, 2009, 14:33 PM

Do i have to send anything in with my form? I cant see it saying anywhere that i need to...

You mean renewal - new financial year? You just check details are correct if they aren't you ring them up to update anything that isn't then sign send form.

If its a whole new claim then no you just complete and send off

To add a child to your tax credits where an award is already open again you just ring them they update it over phone x

I was not aware you need to send certifiacte - With child benefit yer but I have not had to send it in for working/child tax credits with either of my 2! x

I didnt send anything with my tax credits claim. x

Aahh that makes sense, on the form it asks for the child benefit number, so im guessing they use that as proof for any children.

yeh but I didnt have my child benefit number when I sent mine off because I did it at the same time. didnt have any problems.

Yeah i have just completed my new claim and didnt need to send anything and didnt have my CB number to give them either yet. Think they only ask for birth certificates and things if they have a query. Kx
