Does anyone know how much the disabled child element is per week for tax credits? I thought it was around £95 for HRC but they are only paying £760 for my daughter as a payment to cover from 19th July to present date which seems a lot lower than the entitlement?

Heya, been following all these threads, thanks for all the info and updates guys!

My scan date was 12th August - anyone got any updates and is it worth calling tomorrow? I’ve got five kids under 6 now and it’s chaos during working hours in this house as you can imagine so the thought of being on hold for ages and not being able to get anything out of it triggers my anxiety lol it happened to me once (45mins on hold then it cut off).

I’m not worried too much about how long it is taking as I’ve seen it’s the case for everyone so I don’t want to stress over what I can’t control (I really don’t think people should be emailing MPs to get ahead - it’s not fair for everyone whose been waiting for ages that may not have access/ability to be doing so as well). I know people are struggling but we all are (in different ways, of course) and if you’ve waited this long, maybe it won’t be much longer, hopefully!

I’m just worried that the response will be a no, as we all probably are. Should I have received a text/letter/call yet (apart from the initial confirmation and the ‘sorry we haven’t made a decision yet’ ones)? Also, anyone who’s recently received a text - does it say what the decision is or just state that they’ve made one?

Thank you and sorry for the long winded message!
