HMRC warns 7,000 benefit claimants could have payments frozen in two weeks time

HMRC have warned that 7,000 benefit claimants have just two weeks to update their details or risk having their payments frozen.

Claimants who have their money paid into a Post Office account will need to set up a new payment method as soon as possible. They have until April 5, 2022 to make the required changes, reported The Mirror.

HMRC has warned how your benefits could be temporarily held if you don’t update your payment account by this date. This includes benefits payments such as tax credits, Child Benefit or Guardian's Allowance. Around 6,800 people who receive HMRC benefits still need to close their Post Office card account by the deadline.
