Gave in and phoned this afternoon, scan date 13/03. They said it was passed to a decision maker today, and I should hear within a week if they don't need to contact anybody i.e school. Taking it with a pinch of salt but fingers crossed 🤞

Hi, does anyone know how I go about getting the child disability element added to my tax credits? Also to get it backdated? Not on universal credit still receiving old style tax credits x

Congratulations on your award! Call tax credits asap and let them know when you're awarded the claim from and they'll backdate. I think it has to be done within 30 days or they won't backdate it x
