Tax Credit Agency

Question: can the child support agency treat my tax credits that i get for child care as an extra income?
the money i get for child care to let me and my fiance go to work is being treated as an extra income by the csa and not that it is used to pay our registered child minder. its as if one government agency are giving us the money to pay for child care but another is trying to take it off us. can anyone advise me please. thanks
Answer: all extra benefit is treated as extra income, your child benefit is taken from you so you dont get any extra. only DLA is not counted.
