Lower than usual Child Benefit Payment

Hi,
just wondering if anyone could possibly explain why my monthly child benefit payment would be lower than usual?
i recieve £145 for 2 children born after 6/4/2017, every 4 weeks on a Monday.
i have it paid into my monzo so I can usually see it 3 days before, we are on holiday at the moment so thought I would just check the account.
it’s telling me HMRC deposit is +36.25.

I have no idea why, I have a new job but we earn less than £50K between us?

i havent had any notification that it would change.
can anyone advise?

thanks!

Am glad I saw this thread. Same has happened to me. The only issue is I recieved 1 weeks money today but my usual 4 weekly payment is due tomorrow. Am hoping I will still get the other 3 weeks tomorrow.

I'm worried now that even though mine is due Tuesday I haven't had any money go on? Anyone else not had it (just to put my overly anxious mind to rest)

My usual payment is tomorrow (Tues) but I've recieved 1 weeks payment today. Hopefully the rest will go in tomorrow
