Ensure Continuous Child Benefit Payments for 16-Year-Olds: Act Now!

If your child is turning 16, act now to keep getting Child Benefit payments. The deadline is August 31st.

To keep getting Child Benefit, tell HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) that your 16-year-old is still in education or training. It's easy to do online at GOV.UK or through the HMRC app.

Child Benefit stops at 16, but if your child's still studying, you can extend the claim. Recently, HMRC sent a letter with a QR code to update the claim online instantly.

Child Benefit stays for full-time studies, like Highers, A levels, T levels, and more. Special cases also apply.

Don't miss out on financial support for your family. Update your claim online or via the HMRC app now!
