  • Mothers united in battle against credits chaos

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/money/c...9520-19777065/


    Four mums are battling to help families tangled up in the tax credit shambles.
    They united after all of them suffered through a system that has left millions of families in despair.
    In common with many others, they faced demands from the taxman to hand back alleged overpayments said to add up to £2billion a year overall.
    The quartet - Alison Myers-Ward, Paula Dean, Sarah McCall and Lisa Weatherley - started the Tax Credit Casualties group to help others caught in the chaos.

    When the government unveiled its new Child and Working Tax Credit system in April 2003 it was supposed to simplify welfare benefits by bringing them together with the tax system.
    But it was fatally flawed. For while the tax credits paid are based on last year's income, you're entitled to less if your income goes up, resulting in overpayments and demands for refunds.
    Worse still, the forms are so baffling and the calculations so complicated that families have no idea whether they are getting too little or too much.
