How can Citizens Advice help me claim Child Benefit?

A ClaimGuide Team Answered by

Citizens Advice can explain who may qualify for Child Benefit, help you understand the claim process and highlight related issues such as National Insurance credits or the High Income Child Benefit Charge. It may help you work through forms and identify what evidence you need, although HMRC makes the decision and handles payments. You can contact your local Citizens Advice service or use its online guidance. For the latest rules and to apply, check the official GOV.UK Child Benefit page, and seek independent tax advice if the high-income charge is complicated.
