Child Benefit is a monthly payment to the parents or guardians of children under 16 years of age. Child Benefit can also be claimed for children aged 16 and 17 if they are in full-time education or full-time training or have a disability and cannot support themselves.
The decision on entitlement for the person concerned has been made. A payment, which included arrears dating back to the start date of the claim, issued to the customer's chosen payment method on 19 January 2024. Monthly payments will be made to the person concerned on the first Tuesday of each month until entitlement ceases.
I trust this clarifies the position for the deputy.
