Congratulations on your new arrival. Did you realise that this addition to your family could entitle you to claim Child Tax Credit, in addition to Child Benefit? If not, then read on to find out how much money you could get. The extra income will be paid directly to the person who is mainly responsible for looking after your new child.
Am I eligible?
* You are entitled to Child Tax Credit if your income (or if you have a partner, your joint income) is less than £58,000 a year (£66,000 if there is at least one child who is less than a year old)
* You may be entitled to extra money in the first year of your child's life for childcare costs
* If you are already claiming tax credits for one child, a second child means that you could be entitled to more money
* If you are working you may be eligible for Working Tax Credit, including help with childcare costs
* Already claiming Income Support or Income-Based Jobseeker's Allowance? Then you don't need to do anything now - we will pay all the money owed to you through your income support or income-based Jobseeker's Allowance.
