This post is in the interests of anyone with children.
If you have had children born between 1986 and 2003 then this could apply to you. Lee, and anyone else of a similar age, it may apply to your parents!
I got this e mailed from a couple of sources, it wasn't until I got it from the 2nd source (a friend of mine) who had written it personally.
You've got to respond by the 31st of January 2009.
Now, I hope that I am a respected poster on this site and that I may be taken seriously
Please read what I have pasted below.
The year before Tax Credits were introduced there was a different non-means tested allowance available which was never advertised by the Inland Revenue.
It is called the Children’s Tax Allowance for the Year 2002/3.
You can still claim this tax allowance before the 31 January 2009 deadline.
You need to phone HMRC on 0845 300 3939 and ask them to check whether you have already received this allowance and, if not, enquire as to what action you need to take.
You are eligible to claim £520.00 allowance if;
*You have a child born between 6 April 1986 and 5 April 2003
*The child lived with you for all or part of 2002/2003
*You worked and paid tax for all or part of 2002/2003
*You or your partner earned £6,000 plus in the year 2002/2003 tax year
You are eligible for the £1,040 allowance if;
*If you can answer yes to the four questions above, and
*One of your children was born between 6 April 2002 and 5 April 2003
Notes:-
*Making a claim does not affect your current or future entitlement to Working or Child Tax credits.
*Your Marital status is irrelevant
*You cannot claim the allowance twice and if your final tax code on your April 2003 P60 ended in a H or a T, you have already had the allowance.
*This is an easy claim for you to make so do not get duped into paying someone to do it for you because they are likely to charge a large percentage for their services.
Spread the word as this could be something which gives you a little extra in these difficult times!!
Now, here is the form you will need.

This goes to you local tax office, the one that deals with your affairs.
If you were self employed this may affect the situation.
I have just come off the phone to the Child Tax Credit helpline on 0845 300 3900, and the young lady confirmed this. She even told me to search for 11ctc on google, which is where I found the form.
I've just phoned HMRC on 0845 300 3939 and I now know I've already received it. But you may not have.
