As far as I am aware, child benefit is paid every 4 weeks
Not a specific day/date each month
Check when you received your last payment and work from there

Is everyone's the same? Mines due a week today, It comes a week after payday for me

Mine is paid weekly on a Tuesday.

I am sure yours will be paid at some point today. Keep checking your bank account throughout the day.

Can you check your claims account online? On mine it tells me all my last and future payment dates and amounts x

Rebecca36 · 24/09/2018 06:58

Almost sure you will be paid today. It's 'paid' btw.

CaMePlaitPas · 24/09/2018 07:03

It was paid on the seventeenth. I believe it is paid the second last Monday of every month?

CaMePlaitPas · 24/09/2018 07:04

Oh - you have so many different replies, must be different for everyone!

“Bank holidays

Your Child Benefit payment is usually paid early if it’s due on a bank holiday.

Due date Payment date
2 April 2018 29 March
7 May 2018 4 May
28 May 2018 25 May
27 August 2018 24 August
25 December 2018 24 December
1 January 2019 24 December”

I've checked our account and the last 2 payments were Monday 6th August and Monday 3rd September.

The letter said every 4 weeks so I expect the next one to be Monday 1st October.

If it's been more than 4 weeks I would check your letter for contact details.

Hanconelly · 24/09/2018 07:36

Where and how do you check your payments !? I can't see it on my tax gov account !?

It should be today, according to the table.

The 27th August was a bank holiday so you were paid on the 24th instead. Then four weeks from the 27th (your actual day) is today.

Has your dc stayed on at school and you forgot to tell them?

Mummingainteasy · 24/09/2018 10:05

You have to have a government gateway account. If you haven't got one, just ring up the tax credits number and speak to them.

I had my payments suspended and couldn't work out why. It was because I had changed jobs and my new work had put my work address as my home address which meant they had conflicting info. Could something like that have happened? It was soon sorted and they gave me 2 one off payments which covered most of the payments I had missed.

Other than that, did you reapply correctly??
