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

Mine has been paid, just checked my online banking! Perhaps just a bit late this time for some? Mine is never there any earlier than expected though apart from when it's a bank holiday etc.

Nothing hasn't came through my end joke really

Sammy19891 · 03/06/2024 06:11

I keep checking nothing

Chloe1664 · 03/06/2024 06:11

Hi, my child benefit was supposed to come through today and hasn’t. Has everyone else still not been paid theirs?

Sammy19891 · 03/06/2024 06:12

Nothing

Luluu40 · 03/06/2024 06:12

This is a joke!!! I’m still waiting. Thank God I checked on here. I was getting so worried

mamof3darlings · 03/06/2024 06:13

New here I haven’t received mine xx

Jbalmforth · 03/06/2024 06:13

Nothing still barclays

Missguidedsmiles · 03/06/2024 06:13

I normally get mine after midnight today (monday) I still haven't got it.

Skimner · 03/06/2024 06:13

My child benefit was due today and had nothing. We use it to buy my daughter’s milk each month in bulk. So god knows what is happening

Has anyone contacted ITV Good Morning Britain about this. It would be helpful to get it heard on tv how we have all been treated

How is everyone being treated? If it’s not meant to go in till the Monday then thats that surely? People are lucky they’ve been getting it early on a weekend

Karen531977 · 03/06/2024 06:14

I am exactly the same should be the 3rd but always get it the Saturday? I wonder what's going on?

Sammy19891 · 03/06/2024 06:14

It's a joke they know people rely on this no notification either

Skimner · 03/06/2024 06:16

We’re also starling. And it always shows as pending the day before when HMRC have sent the payment. I’ve got nothing showing at all

Sammy19891 · 03/06/2024 06:16

Wonder what's happening then

Herbie79 · 03/06/2024 06:18

I contacted my bank and they did not see any pending child benefit payments but it could still be in the process of clearing today and to contact HRMC directly if it does not clear today.

Voilaamum · 03/06/2024 06:19

Monday has arrived, no Child Benefit. Normally it shows on a Friday what is pending for the Monday both Debit and credits, no CB has shown.
I feel this must be a system error as too many of us are clearly in the same position. Like a few others, I'll wait to see if it resolves itself today. It looks like HMRC are about to have a very busy week.

Schc · 03/06/2024 06:19

Good morning , I'm with barclays, normally get paid on Saturdays and have now waited til Monday and nothing. Anyone else the same? I'm worried

I'll give my bank a call shortly, need my cuppa first in order to function especially when it comes to finances lol

Tld88 · 03/06/2024 06:21

Nothing here either I'm. Natwest

Hlb54 · 03/06/2024 06:21

Morning, my child benefits was due in this morning, Monday 3rd June, I get mine every My Monday and it hasn't been paid in this morning. My circumstances haven't changed so don't understand why, I have recently migrated to universal credit but was told my carers allowance and child benefits wouldn't be effected, also I'm also worse off now migrated over my first universal credit is due in this Wednesday but its quite a bit short more stress than it's worth as I'm now in debt as I had to borrow to make sure my rent gets paid and to survive for the 5 weeks it took to sort out.

Mumofgirls2005 · 03/06/2024 06:24

Just spoke on Live chat with my bank, Starling, as no payment is even showing as pending. They said they have been made aware by HMRC that some payments may be missing and advised that I call HMRC first on this occasion.

child benefit not paid
Sammy19891 · 03/06/2024 06:25

I've checked with bank no payments there, I have 3 pound in my account it's a joke

Sammy19891 · 03/06/2024 06:27

My son has disabilitys this is not good

Xchloex97 · 03/06/2024 06:29

I'm with lloyds and mine still hasn't gone in, wouldn't mind but I always stay up so I can move it into my savings, spent the entire night thinking it was my bank or something like that, was so worried I've not slept a wink, they could have pre warned everyone
