Will I get 2 child benefit payments in December?

[Mumsworld112]

Hi all

I have twin boys and I know child benefit payment is paid every 4 weeks. I live in England.
My last child benefit payment was on the 4th November which means my next one will be on the 2nd December and then it will be due on the 30th December 2024.
Will I be getting 2 child benefit payments in December?

Just wanted to double check

Thank you

Yes, it’s 4 weekly so 13 payments a year. Dates vary for everyone.

I think yes I get 2 PIP payments in a month every now and again and that's paid 4 weekly

Child Benefit is paid 13 times a year, so everyone gets two payments one month of the year, though the month will vary from person to person. It sounds like your 'double month' is December, which is handy. The only caveat is that benefit dates can change (normally earlier) around Christmas/other public holidays, but that info will be available online.
