Tax credits and DLA

[jambuttie]

Hi

Looking for some info and hoping you can help.

We are awaitng our decision in writting on the DLA awarded to DT2. We are also aware tha we may be awarded a disability amount on child tax credits.

Can anyone advise me please if the tax credits awars is on a certain rate of DLA or all?

Many Thanks

thanks misdee

I thought it was on any but you got a higher rate for severely disabled (High rate DLA).

probably just confused you completely now jammie.

cheers sagga.

looking on the website isn't very clear either hun.

I took it to be any amount but am very new to this so thought I would ask you experienced peeps.

i think its given on middle and high rate but you get different amounts of tax credit for the different dla levels

Disability Alliance website says you can get-

a disabled child element - for each child within the family on disability living allowance (DLA) or who is registered blind;

and

a severely disabled child element - for each child within the family on the higher rate care component of DLA.

Carers allowance is just middle and high.

informed them today and they said they will adapt the award so will post the outcome

Still no further forward, all the info I have found doesn't state a rate

Hiya

I got awarded extra tax credit on low rate dla[

It would appear that there is a rate for lower and middle rate care then a higher rate if your child receives higher rate care,this is known as a severe disability premium!
