Sale of foreign property and impact on UK child benefit?

DaveG20

I've recently sold a foreign property (at a capital loss, so no CGT). My question is does the money from the sale of that property (or asset) count as income which can affect Child Benefit (with the 50K threshold)? I have called HMRC who told me to call Child benefit, who told me to call HMRC!
The money form the sale is income but not earned income and I intend to reinvest it.
Any help form someone who knows this area would be most welcome.
