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.

A decision letter was issued by Child Benefit Scheme to the person concerned on Friday, 1st December.

If the person concerned considers this decision to be incorrect, she has the right to request a review of the decision by a Deciding Officer by contacting Child Benefit directly. She also has the right to appeal to the Social Welfare Appeals Office within 21 days of the date of the decision. Details are in the correspondence that issued to her.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
