Child benefit

[Ebonylexie]

How much am I meant to be getting for two children please as I think I’m not getting enough ? Thank you

A month

£140 every 4 weeks.

You should be getting £159.60 every four weeks

Do you have access to Google, OP?

That can't be right. I only ever got £140 for my 2, I only stopped getting it last year.

It went up in April

@FuckNuggets it's gone up - it's £159.60 now

It went up in April. It's £24 a week for the first and £15.90 for the second

It's £159.60, assuming you are in the UK.

£24 for first child, £15.90 per subsequent child a week, paid 4 weekly (not monthly - 13 payments a year)

£159.60 every 4 weeks paid on a Monday

It's not always on a Monday.

£159.60. Its not paid monthly though it's paid every 4 weeks so the date you receive it will change every month

Monday or Tuesday, sorry. Sometimes previous Friday if there's a bank hol.

Ok thank you I have been getting £145 a month and someone told me it should be £170 or something so wanted to ask , thank you

@Ebonylexie the rates went up in April this year so you may have only had 2 payments at the "new" £159.60 rate.

Ok I’ll have to check properly thank you so much everyone

@KarmaIsMyBF @YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake Thanks!

It went up in April
