Hi all,
Don,t know if anyone can help with this. Have been off work since November, and claiming SSP as my employer doesn,t pay sick pay. I,m a single parent, and receive working and child tax credit. On looking thru their guidelines earlier, I see that there is a disability element available. Their guidelines say that if you are renewing a claim, then it would be payable if I was unable to work an 8 hour day, but when I phoned, the adviser said I would only get it if I was claiming DLA. Does anyone have experience of qualifying for this?
Thanks

Hi yes I think you only get the disability part if you get dla don’t think you can get it otherwise I get ESA contribution based my oh works that’s why I get it hope this helps
Hi
You can get the disability element of tax credits if you don’t receive dla. Certain criteria has to be met, 4 co Dione as they call them. I have just applied over the phone and am waiting for decision. Go on Internet and type in disability element of tax credits fact sheet for info. Good luck x
Hi I don’t think you can no you have to get high rate dla
