Who informed you of that ? 
What time period are you taling about ?  
As far as I'm aware ther is a time period of 32 years (from 1978 to 2010) to be able to claim Home Responsibility Protection), and no upper limit onthe number of years you can claim Child Benefit providing you meet the eligibility crotera,

I assume you’re referring to Home Responsibilities Protection which did indeed have that 22 years maximum when HRP transferred over to the new NI Credits in 2010.

I think that's the most important and first question.

And pre 2010 the age was 16.  OP needs to clarify which period child benefit was claimed.
