A warning has been issued to parents with older children to update their child benefit records - or risk the payments stopping.
Parents and carers need to confirm whether their teenager is staying in full-time education or approved training. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has written to 1.3 million parents and carers of children, who are in the last year of school or education, to remind them of the deadline.
Child benefit records must be updated by August 31 and while more than 600,000 families have already notified HMRC, many have yet to do so. This applies to young people aged 16 to 19, Wales Online reports.
