I currently claim tax credits, where I recieve a premium as i recieve dla at the highest rate for my young daughter.
My child dla is uo for renewal in July, and there is a possibility it will be downgraded to the lower rate.
I will need ro inform tax credits, and my question is: as the tax credit amount will change will it end my claim and trigger universal credit claim

No that won't. However, if you receive Carers Allowance and Income Support and your daughters DLA Care drops to low rate then you won't be entitled to CA. If you don't have a child under 5 then your Income Support will stop, this would then be a change to Universal Credit if your area is a full UC area.peppapig14 wrote: »I currently claim tax credits, where I recieve a premium as i recieve dla at the highest rate for my young daughter.
