'Child Tax Credit at a higher rate than family element'

asacia · Nov 12th, 2008, 11:56 AM

According to http://www.dwp.gov.uk/advisers/sb16/ssmg.asp#leg2:

"From April 2008 to April 2009 this means a Child Tax Credit rate of £548 a year or more, or £1,095 a year or more if you have a baby under one year old. "

Say if you had a child already and you were reciveing Child tax higher then the family element as said above then you can reiceve the sure start grant 11 weeks before you give birth , but if this is your first, you will have to wait and see how much tax credits you will reiceve if any and then you will be able to try and apply for the grant.

I get 1200 for child tax benefit actually. so maybe I'll JUST qualify.

Child benefit is different to child tax credit, everyone gets child benifit, only people of low incomes get tax credit , you usually can't find out how much tax credit you will get til after LO is born x

It wasnt child benefit cos I went to the tax credit section and filled in a form. I put babys birth date as yday just to give myself an idea of what i will be entitled to lol
