Hi I made a claim for specified adult child care credits and was awarded 6 years. We received notification from HMRC that they had been awarded back in November. DWP have been in contact but will only pay for 1 of the 6 years. I’ve contacted DWP and they are now referring us back to HMRC which I’m just confused about. Could you advise reasons why we have only been given the amount equivalent to 1 year. I can’t find any guidance online. The dates claimed were between 2011 and 2016. Retired in June 2020
