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 16,17 and will include 18 from May 2024 if they are in full-time education or full-time training or have a disability and cannot support themselves.

Breakdown by area is not available but nationally 87% are paid directly into a financial institution with the remainder paid at their Post Office.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
