Is this true? Can they still receive it if they qualify via other benefits?

this only mentions wtc. does the gov site mention ctc because it's implied through the ctc rules? if so let's just reflect the law; otherwise please identify a case where that wouldn't capture the gov site.

this just says annual income. presumably it means the income concept used for wtc calculation. is that total_income? if so please note the statute for it

instead make meets_universal_credit_criteria_for_targeted_childcare_entitlement and same for the wtc one (and ctc if you can find statutory backing for that pathway). make these separate variables with the relevant criteria (participation + income limit) then the eligibility can be a simple adds (which turns into true if nonzero when a bool type)
