Yes, if you are receiving Childcare Allowance as part of your NHS Bursary award and you or your partner begin to receive childcare payments as part of your Tax Credits or Universal Credit, you must inform us as you will no longer be entitled to this element of your bursary funding. You do not need inform us if you have not applied for NHS Bursary Childcare Allowance.

You should submit a Change of Circumstances and provide your revised Tax Credit Award / Universal Credit Statement showing the date you started to receive childcare from them. Once we receive this, we will stop any future payments and recalculate your Childcare Allowance entitlement up until the point you started receiving it from HMRC Tax Credits / Universal Credit.

If you would like your Childcare Allowance payments held in the meantime to avoid overpayments, please contact us to request this.
