Extra Child Tax Credits for Severely Disabled Children

Families with a severely disabled child, who get the highest rate care component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payments (PIPs) can claim additional child tax credits. 

A higher rate of child tax credit increases your income. This is money that is paid to you regularly from the Government, if you are on a low income.

The government's Revenue and Customs website has an online calculator which you can use to find out whether you qualify for CTC (and Working Tax Credit) and how much you should get. Go to their website at: www.hmrc.gov.uk . 

You can claim Tax Credits by calling the Tax Credit Helpline or Textphone: 0845 300 3909 Monday to Sunday, 8am to 8pm.
