I'm new to tax credits as my daughter was only born 8 weeks ago. When I phoned up for a tax credit claim pack, the advisor on the phone said that I was entitled to 130 per week altogether although this was only an estimation so she couldn't be too sure. I was just wondering for people who are now recieving tax credits, if you were given an estimation when first applying how accurate it was and did it differ greatly from what you recieve now?

Thanks for all your help
