Had a conversation with someone recently, I can't remember how the subject came up but we were talking about benefits and she was saying she didn't claim any. I mentioned child benefit and I was surprised when she said she has no idea if they get it or not. She is a SAHM, I assumed the primary caregiver (mum in most cases) got the child benefit but maybe I'm wrong. But to not even know if they get it is a bit odd right? It seems that she doesn't have access (or maybe just doesn't look) at the bank account? DP and I don't have joint accounts so our finances are done differently, if you have a joint account with your DP/H and you don't work, do you have free access to it?
