Quick Child Benefit Question

Good morning,

I appear to have a pending transaction into my account, after racking my brains the only thing I can think of is it might be child benefit (that was quick), the reference is basically a load of numbers and it ends -cb

Does that sound about right?

Many thanks :)

    Well my child benefit shows up as 12 numbers and then "CHB" after the 12 numbers , so just like this XXXXXXXXXXXX-CHB

    Seems like it could be a child benefit payment ?

    Did you recently have a baby and apply for CB?
    The loopy one has gone :j

    Very funny:D . I knew it had to be either you had just had a new baby or maybe that your child had turned 16 and left education etc and this was your payments only getting sorted again.....
