Question: child tax credits and child benefit?

My sister claimed child benefit for my son temporarily for 2 months, she then cancelled the claim because he came back to live with me. I hadn’t got round to putting the his child benefit back in my name and now i have had a letter off child tax credits saying they are stopping my money (in four days) for connor because my sister is still responsible for him even though she isn’t and none of us have been receiving the child benefit for him. Is this right?

Answer: child benefit must be paid, so either you or yr sis should have been recieveing it, if you havent then they have to back date her for when he was with her and you likewise when he was living with you.

the child tax credits however may be a little more tricky…if you hadnt put a correct claim in you could loose the back pay, however, if you put a claim in now you can most likely get it paid back to when he returned with you if its within 3months?

make an appointment with yr local office and go get it sorted asap so u dontloose any more money.
