Tax Credit Information Request
Hi
I’m just looking for a bit of advise. I’ve received a letter from Tax Credits about a child I care for. It is requesting information specifically about this this child- hours they are here, start dates, fees I charge for their care, but it also asks for information on who picks the child up and drops them off? I’m unsure about giving this information because of confidentiality.
I rang Tax credits to confirm the letter is legit and raised my concerns about giving some of the information and was told that they do send these letters out, and the request for information on who picks the child up/ drops them off is to confirm who is responsible for the child. They also said if I don’t give this information it can slow down the investigation process for the Claimant 😩
Has anyone else received one of these before? Should I get written permission from parent before sending the form off?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
