Child Tax Credit and Universal Credit
(asked on 11th July 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many families receive a child disability element in their child tax credit award; and what proportion of those families have a child who qualifies for a lower rather than a higher child disability addition under universal credit.
The number of families receiving a child disability element in their child tax credit award is available on the HMRC website here:
Information on the proportion of those families with a child who qualifies for a lower rather than a higher child disability addition under universal credit is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
