I'd be a bit worried if they had, it's HMRC that administer CB.

Ok - but you know what I mean. When other benefit changes happen people get notice by letter. Letters are very hit and miss on this occasion and many will find they get letters after the fact.0

Indeed, but don't forget that whilst families who pay to support those on benefits they will have little sympathy for UC etc.
After all we are all in it together!
If they kept this AND DIDN'T hit others they'd have lost the sympathy of people. Now they are hitting us all together and so make voting for the cons more attractive. It's good that we all are being hit.0 -
What, no tips on how to avoid losing child ben? Luckily we've discussed it here loads of times!0
