How much Child Benefit is increasing by and when the new changes come in

Child Benefit is set to increase this year and it's more than triple last year's hike.

The payment is made to people who are responsible for bringing up a child under 16 or a young person under 20, if they are still in full-time education or on certain approved training courses.

The only exception is if that person, or their partner, earns more than £50k a year, in which case they need to pay some back as income tax. And if they earn over £60k, they need to give it all back.
