You was supposed to Apply for childcare code for 15 hours free the deadline was August 31st but if you are paying the childcare fees then follow @Kya’s steps
@Mama Kiki🇹🇹 yes that’s correct she won’t be eligible for the 15 hours yet as shes missed the cut off date for this term
Thanks guys, can I apply for the 15hours for oct to start in January ?until then I will use the up to 85%
you don’t have to apply, when you pay ur childcare fees report it to universal credit & upload an invoice - sometimes they request you to upload bank statements universal credit how much childcare costs you are entitled to, remember its UP TO 85% not literally 85% so depending on ur earnings the amount you get will differ if you work and earn less that 100k then yes you are entitled to 15 hours free too
