Your Child Benefit: Stay Informed and Update Your Details

As a parent or guardian receiving Child Benefit, it is crucial to stay informed about recent updates and changes that may affect your entitlement. Keeping HMRC informed of any changes in your child’s circumstances is essential to ensure uninterrupted benefit payments.

Several circumstances can impact your entitlement to Child Benefit:

• If your child is in education or training, their eligibility for Child Benefit may end when they turn 16 or 20, or when they leave education or training between the ages of 16 and 20.
• If your child starts working more than 24 hours per week, it may affect your Child Benefit.
• If your child gets married or forms a civil partnership, your entitlement to Child Benefit may change.
• In unfortunate circumstances such as your child going missing or passing away, your Child Benefit may be affected.
• If your child lives away from you for more than eight consecutive weeks or moves in with their partner permanently, it may impact your Child Benefit.
• If your child leaves the country for more than 12 weeks, except for school education or medical treatment, your entitlement to Child Benefit may be affected.
• If your child is imprisoned for more than eight weeks, it may impact your Child Benefit.

It is important to note that if you start receiving payments from your local council or another party responsible for your child’s care, your Child Benefit may be reduced or stopped altogether. Additionally, if you are receiving other benefits, the benefit cap may result in a decrease in your Child Benefit amount.

Parents and guardians with children aged 16 who have left education or training or are continuing full-time education must update their personal details on the GOV.UK website before November 30. Failure to do so may result in delayed payments, although you may still be eligible to claim Child Benefit.

Child Benefit is a weekly payment provided to individuals responsible for raising children under the age of 16 or young people under 20 who are still in full-time education or approved training courses. The payment amount varies depending on the number of children in your care.

Remember, it is crucial to update your details on time to avoid any disruptions in your Child Benefit payments. Stay informed and take advantage of the resources available to you. For comprehensive information on Child Benefit and any recent changes, visit the GOV.UK website.
