Change Child Benefit Claimant
GSTAR
Posts: 63 Forumite
Hi all,
What is the correct process for me to end my claim for child benefit, and for my wife to be the claimant instead?
Do I have to end my claim first and then she makes a new claim? Can it be done online or do we have to call them?
The reason I'm doing this is because she doesn't work and therefore has been losing out on NI credits for child benefit - something I just recently realised (I have already had the NI credits transferred over to her now and just need her to be the new claimant going forwards).
