Claimants who receive a backdated disability benefit decision while receiving Working Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit can now request that the backdated period be included in their tax credit claim. This allows individuals to potentially receive additional tax credit payments reflecting the period covered by the backdated disability benefit award. The process enables taxpayers to align their tax credit entitlement with disability benefit decisions that cover earlier periods than initially claimed.
