Quick question about universal credit

[Pizzaaddict]

When you make a claim for universal credit, does child benefit stop in the same way your tax credits do? Or is this a separate thing that will be continue to be paid? Just concerned how I would manage with nothing coming in for 5+ weeks.

Thanks in advance

It's separate and you will continue to get it.

Thank you glossy

Chile benefit and any child maintenance isn't counted so doesn't stop
