Urgent Child Benefit warning as payments to stop for 700,000 claimants next week

HMRC has issued an urgent warning to parents and carers of young people aged between 16 and 19 years old.

The UK Government department has stated that there is only one week left to confirm whether teenagers are staying in full-time education or approved training. Failing to do so will mean that Child Benefit payments stop.

HMRC has reached out to approximately 1.3 million parents and carers regarding teenagers who are currently in their final year of school or education reminding them to update their Child Benefit information.
