If your current award of Income Support includes an amount for your child with a disability premium included, then you cannot claim Child Tax Credits as well (people who have been on long term Income Support receive the same amount as Child Tax Credits via their Income Support). However, if your Income Support only includes amounts for yourself and partner, then you should claim Child Tax Credits and let them know your child is disabled - which may attract a disable child element).

you can claim child tax credit when already claiming IS for the kids too, as the kids money will just stop being paid to you in IS and will be paid by tax credits.

i changed over and we get £210 a week for my 9 year old my 7 year old (with high care dla) and my baby 10 months!

i find this way better than the other way hun. the only thing was as soon as you get tax credits the IS will need to stop so you fill in a change of circs form.

this is where to check how much you will get too.
