Eligible Universal Credit claimants may be able to get help with childcare costs. The amount and rules can change, so use the current government guidance when working out what support you may receive.
Keep records
Childcare costs need to be reported within the relevant assessment-period rules. Keep invoices and payment information from your provider.
Tax-Free Childcare and Universal Credit childcare support cannot be received together, so check the official guidance before switching schemes.
