Can I have childcare costs paid if I get LCW.

Hi everyone

I’m currently self employed. I heavily rely on UC to cover my childcare costs. Will I still be entitled to the childcare costs if I start receiving LCW, so I can work but with adjusted hours.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @mum_of_6, welcome to the community 😊 I hope we can help you with this question, I do not know the immediate answer but could I ask if your UC claim is just a single claim or a joint claim?
