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

Hi girls im a full time dad of four children and im up early on this fabulous Monday morning so while having a ciggy I thought ill check me bank as all my bills go out today then BOOM the shock horror of it hits me WHERE IS THE CHILD BENEFIT PAYMENT!!!!! yes so my carers money has gone in but my child benefit money has not! Now I’m pretty stuffed as we rely on that to go towards food shop! What the hell is going on? Unfortunately I see it’s happened to a few of you but does anyone no exactly why? As it’s not very good cos people rely on that money for obvious reasons kind regards adrian

My sons DLA payment showing for tomorrow but nothing for child benefit that was due this morning. HMRC also shows 3rd June payment date on statement. Not sure what's going on!

Meena112 · 03/06/2024 04:35

Can someone let me know what happens when they call, because i can tell loads of people are going to be calling in.
This payment not coming in has affected us all stressed out on what we will do for the kids. Hopefully it gets sorted asap as my kids will go hungry if not

This is a joke, been up all night now, nearly time to get up for school and no money for food shopping today by the looks of it. Can't wait until 8am to get on the phone! Phone lines are going to be jammed, whoever gets an explanation first please come back and let us known.... It's going to be a long day 😕

When was this found in papers

23rd October in the telegraph. They wouldn't of upgraded the system at the end of the tax year... It's a possibility this could be what's happened... With it affecting the payments to so many different banks....? I don't know.... Might aswell get up now 🥱

Emmarosegrahamx · 03/06/2024 05:07

I'm in the same boat, I usually get paid every Monday literally years without fail but I've checked this morning and no payment? Luckily it was my scottish child payment date too and ive received that but so many people will be relying on this money today.

Firebreather1 · 03/06/2024 05:25

Not been paid my child benefit into Santander today, looks like I’m not the only one.

Leanne7678 · 03/06/2024 05:26

Mine is due on the 3 June, today but shows as pending over the weekend and didn’t, it’s not there this morning either, I bank with hsbc

LemonDrop150 · 03/06/2024 05:28

Also HSBC and my payments usually show as pending the working day before its due. So my CB was due today and hasn't gone in and wasn't showing as pending on Friday either.

I get my Scottish child payment next week I hope that's not affected 🤞. It's really strange that child benefit hasn't been paid. I can't remember this ever happening before in the 8yrs of having it

Livvys · 03/06/2024 05:31
