You will be entitled to the disability premium with CTC and it can be backdated up to 3 months. I must stress though please make sure tax credits know it is low rate DLA.

..........and disability living allowance is not means tested. But as correctly implied, you should declare it. If (god forbid) it should later go to Middle or Higher rate, inform them of that immediately. Middle and Higher, if you look around these forums, entitles you and yours to other benefits.
