How will the help towards childcare costs be paid?
A. If you are entitled to receive the childcare element of Working Tax Credit, it will always be paid alongside payments of Child Tax Credit, direct to the person who is mainly responsible for caring for the child or children. It does not have to be paid to the person who receives Working Tax Credit. It will be paid weekly or 4-weekly, depending on how often you have chosen to receive payments of Child Tax Credit.
