...When you apply for child tax credits they will pay you back to the day your claim was sent in..
BUT
they shud backdate it to the DAY ur baby is born. It is wrote hidden in the huge manual...
BUT
they just backdate ur money till ur claim UNTIL you make a point...
when u get ur backpay, make sure u are gettin money from the day of the birth, if you dont get the money from teh date ur baby was born RING THEM...
i did this as i only got 100 backpay for 5 1/2 weeks...
just had a letter this morning saying they were sending me a cheque for the oter 164.64..
just thougth id point this out as im sure a lot of ppl in the flurry of new parenthood wont notice...
164 is a LOT of money to a new family!
make sure u get all that you are entitled to ladies...
quick note tho ladies... you can only get up to 3 months backpay... so get ur forms in asap
