Defence People Communications - get financial help if you have children with child benefit
Did you know that parents can claim child benefit to help with the cost of raising children? Find out if you’re eligible and how to make a claim.
With the rising cost of living, the Government are offering parents and carers up to £1,248 a year to help with the cost of raising their first child – and up to £826.80 for any other children. This means that by the time a child is 16 years old, their child benefit claim could be worth almost £20,000.
