What Is Child Benefit?
Child benefit is payable by the government to anyone who has a child. It is paid from birth to 16 years. You will receive this benefit if you have been living in the UK for the last six months.
How Much Do I Get?
It depends on how many children you have. For your first child you will get approx £15.00 - £17.55 per week, for other children you will get £10.00 a week per child.
How Do I Get This Money?
You can get a claim pack from either your Post Office or your Social Security Office. You can either get it paid directly into your bank or you can go to the post office every four weeks.
How Soon Do I Need To Start Claiming?
Please start claiming within three months of giving birth otherwise you could lose out.
