'There’s no need for customers to call us and we will provide updates here as soon as they are available'
Around 30 per cent of parents who were due to receive cash support this morning received nothing in their accounts. HM Revenue and Customs has apologised and said it is working urgently to resolve the issue.
An HMRC spokesperson said: “We’re sorry that some customers’ child benefit payments have not arrived as scheduled and we are working urgently to resolve the issue. The issues that caused payment problems today will not impact payments scheduled for tomorrow.”Child benefit is usually paid every four weeks on a Monday or a Tuesday. Some people may receive the benefit weekly, for example if they are a single parent or receiving certain other benefits, such as universal credit.
HMRC also placed a statement on X, formerly Twitter, which said: “We’re sorry that some customers’ Child Benefit payments have not arrived as scheduled and we are working urgently to resolve the issue. There’s no need for customers to call us and we will provide updates here as soon as they are available.”
As of August 2023, 6.91 million families were in receipt of child benefit payments .The weekly child benefit allowance is generally £25.60 for an eldest or only child and £16.95 per child for additional children. People may be eligible for child benefit if they are responsible for a child under 16 and live in the UK.People who have been left out of pocket may want to complain to HMRC, which has a complaints section on its website
