🚨 Attention parents! You might be missing out on extra cash each month! 💷💡
Ever wondered if you can keep getting Child Benefit after your child turns 16? Good news — you might be able to! 🎉 If your child is continuing with education or approved training beyond 16, you could extend your Child Benefit payments. That’s up to £108 extra a month! Here’s the scoop:
🔹 You can claim Child Benefit for children under 16.
🔹 But wait, it can continue up to age 20 if they’re in qualifying education or training!
🔹 For your eldest or only child, the weekly rate is £27.05. It’s £17.90 for any other children.
🔹 Make sure to tell HMRC about your child’s education or training plans to keep getting payments.
Wondering what counts as “approved” education or training? We’ve got a quick rundown:
✅ Full-time non-advanced education (more than 12 hours a week)
✅ Courses like A levels, T levels, or Scottish Highers
✅ Certain vocational qualifications up to level 3
✅ Specific training programmes, like Foundation Apprenticeships in Wales or the No One Left Behind programme in Scotland
Some courses don’t qualify, such as university degrees or certain apprenticeships. Make sure you’re reaching out to HMRC using their online service to keep your benefits flowing if your child remains eligible.
