Child benefit is a monthly payment and is paid in respect of all qualified children up to the age of 16, or to the age of 18 if they are in full-time education or have a disability. In May 2021, it was paid to 637,260 customers in respect of 1,212,099 children.
I hope this clarifies matters for the Deputy.
