Enquiry Form

Did You Know

Child Tax Credit is available to any family (which includes lone parents) with at least one child under 16 (or 19 if in full time education). Higher rates of benefit are available for children under the age of one or for children with disabilities. Unlike the old credits, Child Tax Credit is paid direct to the main carer (in practice, usually the mother), who does not have to be in work.

Additional help…

Child Tax Credit consists of a family element and a separate element for each child. The amount depends on how many children there are in the household and how much parents jointly earn. The child element is targeted at the lowest-earning households, but the family element is available even for relatively high-earning families, although at a lower rate.
Working Tax Credit is available to anyone in work, whether or not they have children. It does, however, include an element designed to cover a substantial proportion of eligible childcare costs. The benefit is reduced as household incomes rise. Enquiries regarding Tax Credits should be made through the Inland Revenue.

Other Help

There is also a range of additional government help for lone parents or for students. The Job Centre is one place to enquire for additional suggestions and local contact numbers. Devon County Council provide further information on their DISC web site. You may also be entitled to 2gether funding.
