Hi
My ex was the main carer for my daughter, but they had problems, so my daughter moved in with me. An agreement was signed by all 3 of us.
So I filled in the forms to clain CB and tax credits; how long does it take for the change over?
Asuming that it goes to plan. Will they contact the ex for her to sign off the benefits first? The forms that I filled in didnt ask for any details.
Are the benefits office not able to tell you how long it will take ? They must have an idea ?
I havnt spoken to them, just filled in a form and sent it off. Isnt this the sort of thing that single dads experience on a regular basis?
Edit - My ex sent the form back to the benefit office a couple of days ago, so around a week for them to process my form.
