Chaps
This is worth doing -- it is not a scam as its done through HMRC.
It come from someone at work -- we are all frantically getting forms to fill in. Pass it on to anyone you think could benefit.

The year before Tax Credits were introduced there was a different non-means tested allowance available which was never adverstised by the Revenue.
Its called Children's Tax Allowance for Year 2002/2003
You can still claim it before the 31st January 2009 deadline.
You need to phone your tax office with your NI number. They will check if you claimed it or not. Ask the Tax offfice what you have to do to claim -- they should send you a form. If you both worked the high tax earner needs to claim it ( so you would both need to ring up seperately to check that neither of you has already claimed it)
Or you can down load the form from HMRC website -- you need form 11ctc ( just type 11ctc in the search box)

This is an easy claim to make so don't be duped into doing it by an online company coz they will take a £95 cut.
Don't have anything to do with the 'Entitlements Agency" - their form looks official but they charge you to help you get the money.
