Some parents or guardians receiving Child Benefit payments have been warned to update their details ahead of a deadline on August 31. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) guidance states that Child Benefit payments will continue after the child's 16th birthday is reached until one of four deadlines is reached.
The first date is August 31, reports the Daily Record. The situation affects parents or guardians with a child aged 16 who had stayed in education or training, but has since left or due to leave this month.
In relation to the deadlines, HMRC advises: “If you fail to update your details in time, you may still be able to claim Child Benefit, but your payments might be late.”
