Brook Report post Posted June 2, 2006 Great news Shortie Dont forget that if you recieve child tax credit then this should also increase, but you do have to declare the carers allowance to them, as they class this as income, but the tax credit would still increase. I have my sons renewal DLA forms to do Brook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flora Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Great news shortie As others have said, get onto the tax credit line, they will back date it to when your DLA is awarded if you get onto them soon enough. Lauren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kirstie Report post Posted June 4, 2006 <'> Well done, and that is super fast for them!! What about the Mobility component? it's worth applying for too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmuir Report post Posted June 4, 2006 Fantastic! Really pleased for you. I too recently was successful in getting DLA for my son. My dad, being his usual blunt self commented that the money would help buy new items for the house that my son had wrecked! Guess he's got a point. Seriously ... none of us have a crystal ball, so I'm popping it into a bank account in the event that Robert needs private tuition or something. Well done! C.
