Who can get Child Benefit?
Not means-tested, but a High Income Child Benefit Charge can apply. The weekly rates below are the published April 2026 uprating. Confirm them on GOV.UK.
- Paid by HM Revenue and Customs.
- The catalogue looks for: Responsible for a child under 16, or under 20 in approved education.
- The catalogue looks for: The child lives with you.
- The catalogue looks for: Your own status allows Child Benefit.
- This is not a decision. The department or the council decides.
