Child benefit payment date?

Hi

Not sure if anyone can help me? Just a general query to see if anyone has had their child benefit paid to them this month?

I get my on a monthly basis paid direct into the bank and it's usually paid in around the 10th of each month...

I haven't rec'ed it yet this month - has anyone else had a delay in their payment?

TIA x

    Super - thanks for that.

    It's telling me that it's not due until the start of July - very strange as I haven't had a payment since 10 May 2010, oh well they may just pay me extra in July.

    So your last payment would've been due on June 7th, with the next one due July 5th. Personally, I've never had a problem with them paying it when it is due - I'd phone them and check.
  • Hi
    If your last payment was 10th may you should have had a 4 weekly payment on the 7th june, my may payment was on 11th may last payment was 8th june next one being due on 6th july
    If you havent received it you should chase them up as it could be they have credited someone else or it has been another error on their part
