Tax Credits end on 5 April 2025

Posted: February 18, 2025

There are still 100,000s of people on Tax Credits, but the scheme will be coming to an end on Saturday 5th April 2025. If you currently receive Tax Credits, please be aware the Department of Work & Pensions is currently sending out letters to notify you that you must apply to switch to Universal Credit.

DO NOT ignore this letter or your benefits could be cut off.

If you are a Hillcrest tenant or member of staff and you need help with this, please contact the Financial Wellbeing Team on 0300 123 2640 or through the MyHillcrest app.
