If your Child Benefit has been reduced or stopped you may be wondering why this happened.
The benefit is an allowance paid to you for each child that you have and is relied on by many homes, to help with basic living expenses like food, fuel and heating. You get Child Benefit if you’re responsible for bringing up a child who is under 16 or under 20 if they stay in approved education or training and it is normally paid every four weeks.
However, you must report any change of circumstances to the Child Benefit Office. These include changes to your family life or to your child's life.
