Child Benefit payments to stop for some families at the end of May

There will be changes to Child Benefit payments for some families this month.

There are four possible reasons why the amount some people receive may have ended or changed, according to money experts. For some parents or guardians a child aged 16 to 20 may have their benefit stopped at the end of this month, reports the Daily Record.

The benefit is worth £24.00 a week for an eldest or only child and £15.90 a week for any additional children. Only one person can claim it for a child - so you and your partner can't both get it for the same child, for example - but there is no limit to how many children you can claim for.
