🚨 Important Update for Child Benefit Claimants! 🚨
Hey, parents! If you’re receiving Child Benefit, you might want to take note of some upcoming changes to your payments. With the May bank holiday around the corner, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced that some people will receive their Child Benefit payments a bit earlier than usual. 📅
🔔 Here’s the scoop: If you generally get your Child Benefit on the 25th May, it will land in your account on the 22nd May this time. So, be sure to check your bank balances and plan accordingly!
💰 A quick reminder on how much you can receive: £27.05 a week for your eldest child and £17.90 for each additional child. Remember, this can add up to £179.80 every four weeks if you have two children. But do keep an eye on your earnings, because if you or your partner are raking in over £60,000 a year, you might have to repay some of that benefit.
🏦 This payment shift doesn’t just affect Child Benefit! It applies to Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), and the state pension as well. So, double-check your payment dates for these benefits too!
If you’re unsure about your eligibility or think you might be entitled to extra support, why not take a moment to use a benefits calculator? There are plenty online like the one on Turn2us. Every little bit helps! 🤗
Stay informed and make sure you get what you’re entitled to! 💪
