Child Benefits Explained:
Child benefit is essentially a financial benefit to those responsible for children but can vary depending on the child’s status. It applies to that only person who has full custody of a child or to that person who makes that child’s expenses. Contributions can change by different circumstances, so they can include traditional, physical clothing, food and pocket money, gifts on the child’s birthday and Christmas.
Child Benefit will continue paying for 20 weeks every month if the child is sixteen or seventeen years old and registers for the armed services following military training services. In addition, Child Benefit could be suspended one to two weeks. Again, if this happens, you should inform HMRC immediately to avoid being targeted with letters saying that Child Benefit is being withdrawn from you. The phone number for this service is above.
Who Is Eligible To Claim?
