State benefits and tax credits 2015

Chapter 4

If your child is disabled

[ch 4: page 66]

You may get extra Child Tax Credits if:

• the child gets Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payment (PIP);

• the child is registered blind (or was within 28 weeks of your Tax Credits claim).

You still qualify if DLA or PIP stops because the child goes into hospital.
