I am currently on child/ working tax credit.
Will I be moved to Universal tax credit if I get new baby?
We are a family of 4 (2 parents and 2 children)
I am also expecting a salary increase this year.
Will that trigger the universal credit!
If both happened in the same time, will that trigger?

Note that you will not get any additional money in your tax credits for your new child.
Does this mean if my new salary reach the threshold for two kids, it will stop despite having a new kid?
Yes, benefits now only pay for 2 children. If you stopped working you'd still only get money for 2.
What if we started living in two separate houses, one have one child and the other have two, can we still be considered two separate families but married parents or we have to be divorced for them to accept two applications?
�� living apart In order to claim benefits is fraudulent
This means the working/child tax credit will not increase with third child.
No, it won't.
I thought that feels wrong, thanks.
