Universal Credit Childcare 85%

HJT95 · 12/11/2024 11:12

Hi everyone, can anyone help me please?
My daughter is to start nursery 6th Jan 2025, I am eligible for the 15 hours free hours, and also on top of that I am on UC as I work part time, so I assume I would be eligible for the 85% childcare help.

My UC assessment period dates are 21st - 20th of the month, if she starts on 6th Jan, I will have to pay upfront for January on 1st Jan, what dates would UC cover with the help (would they be 21st Jan - 31st Jan or would they cover 6th Jan - 21st Jan) and can you give me an idea of how much I will get back if I pay £304 to the nursery

Thank you

Hello,
Can anyone clarify if a childminder is found for my grandsons who are 4 & 2 for outside of school/nursery term times etc, will my son's universal credit be reduced to cover the cost of the childminder?
Thanks all🤔
