World News – UK – Child benefit payments will be issued earlier this week – full Christmas dates will be explained

Child support is available to those responsible for raising children in the UK. However, the child must be either under 16 or under 20 if in an approved education to receive payment. Only one person can claim child benefit for a child and it is administered by the Child Benefit Office, which is overseen by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

As a rule, child benefit is paid every four weeks and the British usually receive this payment on a Monday or Tuesday.

However, the Christmas season brings a number of public holidays that can affect the payment of child benefit.

As a result, parents and guardians are encouraged to write down any changes that may affect them.

This will ensure that the individuals are well prepared and possibly even have a better budget for the festive season and New Year.

The first affected date is Monday the 28th. December – in less than a week.

This date will be affected as it is a substitute for Boxing Day, which falls on a Saturday this year.

People who have to receive their payment on this day will therefore receive their child benefit a little earlier.

Payment will be made this week, on the 24th. December, Christmas Eve to make sure parents and guardians are not left out of their pockets.

These individuals can expect their payment to be made on Dec.. December – New Year’s Eve – a little earlier.

And for Scottish people who live on Tuesday 5th. January, expecting payment, payment will be made the next day on Wednesday the 6th. January.

The oldest or only child in a family is allocated a weekly rate of £ 21. 05 at the moment.

It should be noted, however, that the benefit cap may affect the total amount of benefits an individual can receive, including child benefit.

To apply for child benefit, the British must contact the child benefit office by completing the CH2 application form.
