More than 214,000 families in the UK are missing out on Child Benefit support, totaling an extra £2,200 annually that they could receive. This lack of claims showcases a significant gap in financial awareness regarding available benefits. Child Benefit is essential not only for financial support but also for securing National Insurance credits that influence State Pensions and providing children with necessary future identification numbers.
Currently valued at £25.60 weekly for the eldest child and £16.95 for each additional child, Child Benefit will increase in 2025. This forthcoming rise underscores the importance of claiming the benefit, particularly for those not already enrolled. Eligible families are missing out on thousands of pounds, emphasizing the necessity for public awareness campaigns to ensure parents understand these benefits.
