Child benefit

3 replies

I have 2 children. The child benefit rate is approximately £21 a week for the eldest and £13 a week for other children.

The eldest is in full time education, but finishes this summer.
As she is then an adult I will not get CB for her anymore.
So does my other child then become my 'eldest' child and I get £21 a week for him?

Or do I still continue on £13 a week for him?
I can't find the answer on the gov web site.
Thanks

Yes the higher amount will switch to your younger child.
