Child benefit not received

Hi all,

I get my child benefit paid in to my bank every 4 weeks, regular as clockwork for years now. I last got it on Tues 19 June, and it was supposed to go in again on Tues 17 July, it didn't arrive for the first time ever and when I check online (www[dot]hmrc[dot]gov[dot]uk/tools/childbenefit/chbcalc.htm) it says I am due to be paid next Tuesday - a 5 week gap. Any idea why this is? Do they leave a 5 week gap every now and again and I've never noticed before? Only I was on holiday without access to checking my balance, I assumed the money was there and withdrew some which took me over my limit :mad:
