Backdating Working Tax Credits...

I am filling in the WTC form and remember seeing online that any money due can be backdated by up to a month. Is there any way of telling them I'd like them to do this or will they do it automatically...?

Thanks.

    It tells you on the first page of the notes accompanying the form. You can attach a covering letter stating you would like it backdated 1 month.
