Child benefit

[Thomcat]

Probably a dumb question but who do i ring to find out my DD's child benefit ref no? It gets paid straight in to an account so I don't have a benefit book, I've looked at home and can find no paperwork and need the benefit number for a from ai'm filling out.
Who do I ring to find it out?

It might be on your bank statement...mine is

no, it gets paid straight into an Abbey account I set up for her and they don't send me statements.

Ring the child benefit office they will give it to you, I had the same problem.

Isn't it given as the reference number shown next to the transaction on your bank statement? Mine is.

Also you should have received a form when you first received the benefit. That has the number on it. I have a file marked "important letters" where all this stuff lives.

should be able to ring up the child benefit office and give your NI number to get your benefit number

is it the inland revenue that deals with child benefit now? you could try them. not much help sorry

Ring your social security office.

Sorry quick, babe in arms!

So will the child benefit number be located on the internet???????

Easy - hmmm, I don't have a file as such more a cupboard for things like that and had it all out last night, can't find a thing with the number on it. Money doesn't get paid ointo my account but an Abbey account so not on statements setc.
