Hi
You might want to have a look at Regulation 9 WTC (EMR) Regs 2002 SI 2002/2005
In particular see 9(1) and 9(8)...9(8) on a quick read through seems to cover the situation where a person was entitled, for at least one day in the preceding 56 days, to the disability element of WTC or to disabled person's tax credit by virtue of his having satisfied the requirements of Case A, B, E or F at some earlier time.
Those cases are in Reg 9(2)-9(7), but it depends which benefit he had as to which case he will fall under.
Not clear whether it would apply to a different claim if it was within the 56 days...but this may give you a starting point.
