Can I claim Child Benefit?

Child Benefit can help you with the costs of your children and is usually paid every 4 weeks.

If you’re eligible you’ll get £26.05 a week for your first child and £17.25 a week for any children after that.

You can claim Child Benefit if:

  • you’re ‘responsible for the child’
  • the child is under 16 years old – or under 20 years old and still in education or training

It doesn’t matter if you work, or have savings and investments.

Check if you’re eligible here.
