Benefits Tax Credits
June 29th, 2010
Question: Are Child Benefits and child tax credits the same?
My mum gets paid Child benefit every month but recently I found out she should be receiving child tax credits too, which is given weekly, it is under her name but my dad receives the money instead. What can she do about this?
Answer: Child Benefit is normally paid to the mother & is paid from when a child is born until they are 16 (19 if in full time education), this is paid whether the parents work or not. child tax credit is a Benefit which can be claimed by the working parent.
