Amharc ar fhreagraChild benefit customers are obliged to notify the child benefit office in writing of any change in their circumstances. As part of the ongoing child benefit eligibility review programme a review certificate issued to the person concerned on the 25 March 2014. The Deputy subsequently made representations on her behalf on the 23 April 2014 and provided the Department with an updated address. The review certificate was returned on the 8 May 2014, but in follow up enquiries by phone the person concerned stated that she does not reside at, or have any connection with either of the addresses known to the Department. She also stated that she is not in a position to provide information on her current address.
All payments due to the person concerned, up to and including May 2014, have issued to the nominated bank account. However, payment due for June 2014 has been suspended pending confirmation of her address. When her new address is received in child benefit section her entitlement will be reviewed.
