Hi neptune 1980
 
 Your question is outside the remit of the forum.
 
 A childcare costs amount is included in your award if you pay for certain types of childcare to stay in work, it has nothing to do with claiming DLA.
 
 I would advise you to contact your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk
