hi i normally receive my payments every monday for one child (4yo) i’ve received no letters or anything and had payment as normal last week. Although my payments are on mondays, i receive them saturday due to my bank, but this week it hasn’t come through and it’s not my bank as carers has come through like every other week as normal. No change of address etc and her dad wouldn’t of put a claim in and don’t think i can contact them till monday so stressed at what’s going on

I’m the same, I’m with Barclays, normally get it Saturday and haven’t received it today. I’m going to try and ring them at 8 to see if I can get through xx

Seriously? You've not slept a wink due to worrying about not being able to move money into savings the second it arrives in your account? Get over yourself FFS.

I understand that some people will need the money today to buy food, pay bills or get to work, but for the other 99%, they'll just use other money they have and when the money arrives within the next day or two (after all, HMRCs webpage on CB say that it is normally paid on the first Monday or Tuesday of the month so just because people are used to getting it on the Monday and seeing notification of it arriving at the weekend before doesn't mean that it is guaranteed to arrive like that) all will be well.

Because it's not like because the money isn't in people's accounts now, they're just not going to bother sending it at all.

Get over myself?? I move it so it doesn't get taken by an unexpected bill, which I knew something was due out today but child benefit is for my kids I.e nappies, milk ect, it's not like I'm saving it for myself, so yeah I'm gonna worry when I'm running low on nappies ect for my physically disabled son and i have severe anxiety myself. not that I should have to explain myself. Thought this was meant to be about supporting each other and the first time I ever comment something I get told to "get over myself". Just wow.

This thread is full of people with the same problem :(

Woodywoodwood21 · 03/06/2024 06:47

Morning all, dunno about you but I'm not just worried but also exhausted for not being able to sleep with worry. God help the minions in the phone dealing with all of us this morning. All I would say is that HMRC covered themselves by saying it can arrive any time during the 24 hours

Lolpol73 · 03/06/2024 06:47

My child benefit was supposed to be paid today 3rd June but hasn't gone in. Has anyone else had an issue?

This thread feels a bit bizarre to me. There are 200 + comments on here from people saying they've not received CB and then there are people replying to the same thread writing massive posts saying they've not received CB and asking if anyone else has the same issue. Surely they can see others have? Confused
Have a lot of these posts been written by bots or something? This thread feels very un mumsnet.

I thought that. Although it obviously is a genuine issue.

Beezknees · 03/06/2024 06:51

I think it would be helpful if HMRC put a statement on their website to give a bit more clarity.

jessicamarnie1304 · 03/06/2024 06:51

did you receive today? mine is due today and got nothing

skrlowin · 03/06/2024 06:52

Mine hasn't come in today and it is due today. Anyone else got theirs

Mummasheen · 03/06/2024 06:52

So mines still not hit!

jozefina · 03/06/2024 06:53

what’s happening i didnt get my CB all payments come in. on time with nationwide but today nothing

PinkDuck12 · 03/06/2024 06:53

mine hasn’t gone in this morning. I bank with Monzo and usually can get on a Friday at 4pm. My payment wasn’t showing in my bank to be paid over the weekend.

according to my child benefit account I have been paid but nothing received as yet

BobnLen · 03/06/2024 06:53

Obviously there is an error somewhere and people that don't need the money immediately would probably be best not clogging the phone lines to leave them free for those that need it to buy food. I see someone upthread is wittering about moving it to savings.

Well putting it in savings like that isn't how people normally run their account, apologies if I misunderstood.

But you'd be better off getting your CB paid into a separate account to your bills account if that's what you want to do because, if there is an 'unexpected bill' then chances are that it will get taken anyway, as all the credits and bills happen at the same time so you're unlikely to get in to extract the money before it goes out by DD.

But as money is taken by DD is covered by the DD guarantee, if it is taken when it shouldn't be, you're entitled to an immediate refund.

CharlPotter · 03/06/2024 06:55

Still nothing for me, never heard of it hitting on a Tuesday before but I'll be checking with HMRC then if it hasn't hit. I thought I was going mad when I checked my bank account this weekend as I move money to keep my Bills money separate from my spending money, but nope just didn't hit my account when it usually does. Luckily my Bills aren't due out straight away so I have time to wait.

ChirpyTealEagle · 03/06/2024 06:55

Same it’s now the 3rd and still haven’t received anything I’m with barcleys and I usually get it on Saturdays

Yep I feel the same way. Although mines not even showing as pending for tomorrow so I’m unsure as to if this means it also won’t go in tomorrow.

wizarddry · 03/06/2024 06:57

Jbalmforth · 03/06/2024 00:26

Mine still not in. We all gunna kick off in morning at 8am. Hope HMRC can cope with everyone kicking off. They better click a button and send all payments fast track

Yes they can cope with everyone kicking off, they'll be polite then if you kick off too much hang up on you

Cbinns94 · 03/06/2024 06:59

I’m nationwide and haven’t recieved mine either but HMRC app says 3rd June for last payment!
