Child Benefit is usually paid every four weeks, either on a Monday or Tuesday. However, if you’re a single parent or on other benefits, you might be paid weekly.
Payment Schedule
The exact dates depend on when you made your claim and your bank’s processing time. Payments are made in arrears, meaning you’re paid for the previous period.
Payment Delays
Delays may happen due to:
- Bank holidays
- Public holidays (e.g. Christmas, Easter)
It’s important to check the HMRC website for updates on payment schedules.
