Esa stopped, child tax credit increase?

I was orginally on long term incapacity benefit. I was transferred over to esa wrag withought a medical. After 365 days I am no longer entitled to esa as I have a occupational pension of £500 per month. Would I be entitled to an increase in child tax credit? I live on my own with my daughter & a mortgage to pay.

    It is possible you are on the maximum amount already - how much CTC do you receive?

    Did you apply for IB ESA? You may be eligible for help with mortgage payments, particularly if you receive DLA?
