Child Tax Credit at a rate higher than the family element?

Question

What does this mean?
What rates are there that are higher than the family element?

Answer 1

There are several elements to Child Tax Credits. They are:

~Family element (one per family)

~Family element, baby addition (paid to families with a child under one year old on top of family element)

~Child element (including those under one year old, paid for each child)

~Disability element (paid in addition to the child element)

~Severe disability element (paid in addition to the child and disability elements)

You may get a disabled child element for each child or young person you are responsible for if you receive Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for him or her or the child or young person is registered blind or has been taken off the blind register in the 28 weeks before your date of claim.

You may get a severely disabled child element for each child or young person you are responsible for if you receive DLA (Highest Rate Care Component) for them.

Answer 2

the element for those famillies with disability.
