  • Should you claim disability element of CTC if you don't worth ringing to ask wortg extra £3.1k on top of reg CTC
  • In my local authority, if your child gets free school meals, you receive a form from the council in July, to check as correct, sign, and return. If you don't, then free school meals do not continue in September.


    Did you receive any correspondence during the weeks prior to your son moving up to secondary school? If you did, did you return it?
