Hi hun!!

You cannot apply for Working Tax Credits or Child Tax Credits until your baby is born, same as Child Benefit because you need the baby's name, DOB, birth certificate etc.

I have filled out the forms ready and just left the baby's sections blank so im all prepared.

Hope this helps!

do they do that with child tax credits? thatll be handy at this rate ill get quite a bit rang again yesterday to tell them my forms had not arrived yet and i was told i wouldnt get them untill jan now, so by the time i fill them in send them off etc and recieve them Alfie will be about 5 months old

Dior was 6months old and i was only earning pennies i had never heard of tax credits so some one gave me the number. the said they would back date 3months max. i was well chuffed and got a great lumpsum.
ild call to make ure its still the case
great way to save though. as i was despo for a car for us but couldnt save as every penny was going on the kids

I didnt realise that i was eligable as i was on maternity leave long term, but i saw summit on this forum about it and thought id apply and i got about £1600 backdated money that was good, so what u aint getting now you will get back when ur forms processed, i think mines was 8 months backdated XkelX
