TAX credit customers are being reminded that they must renew claims by Wednesday, July 31 or risk seeing their payments might stop.
Claimants should have received renewal packs sent out by HM Revenue and Customs.
Claimants are also asked to check the accuracy of the information in the pack.
HMRC’s director of benefits and credits, Nick Lodge, said: “Our message to people is renew early, renew accurately and renew on time.
“They should aim to renew their tax credits as soon as they receive a pack, and must check that their details are correct.
“If claimants don’t renew claims before July 31, their payments might stop.”
HMRC has said that claimants have to inform it about any changes to their circumstances that they have not yet reported, such as changes to working hours, and must provide details of the previous year’s income, if asked.
