State benefits and tax credits 2017

Chapter 5

If your child is disabled



[ch 5: page 70]

You may get extra CTC if:


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



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



You still qualify if the child goes into hospital, even if DLA or PIP or AFIP stops.
