Child Tax Credit Help

My husband died last month - we never claimed any tax credits because he earned a good wage.
Now that has dried up and I don't work - I get Carer's Allowance for our disabled daughter and have a small pension from when I was medically retired from a Civil Service job 14 years ago. My only other income is my daughter's DLA (medium care rate) and Child Benefit.
Would I be able to claim Child Tax Credits? Is it means tested?
Thanks for your help.

You should be able to claim CTC and yes it is means tested.
As long as your household income is less than £50k you would qualify.0
