Tax Credits..
change for the better or worse?

after recieving the information and the assessment based on my earnings for last year, i cannot believe the differences in the rules about this tax benefit.
if i dont return the form i will lose the credits, if i start to live with someone i have to tell the inland revenue, if i go on holiday for 8 weeks or more i have to tell the IR, if i have a baby, if i have a death in the family, if i get housing benefit, council tax benefit, if my child care costs go up and or down, if my income goes down or up, if one of my children is imprisoned, if my hours of work increase, decrease or when combined with my partner they increase or decrease etc..

if i could get through on the helpline i might be able to do any of the above..

sorry for the rant but i think that this is going to have a huge impact on the majority of the form fearing public.
