Hi,

Would love some advice, I'm a single parent in receipt of child tax credits and a phd studentship. My child tax credits just continued when I got my studentships and after a bit of research I gathered that that was because they are considered nontaxable earnings. However, they have been stopped in the last couple of weeks and before I phone the tax credits office is like some advice about where I stand. Obviously, as a single parent living on a studentship I'm really quite worried that I've made a mistake and am going to be asked to pay back these child tax credits!!) thank you in advance
