Starting from this week, families who claim Child Benefit will see an increase in their payments.
From the 7th of April 2025, millions of families claiming Child Benefit will see a boost in payments, rising to £26.05 per week (or £1,354.60 a year) for the eldest or only child and then £17.25 per week (£897 a year) for each additional child.
HMRC is urging families who don’t already claim to check if they’re eligible and to manage payments via the HMRC app for ease.

A new function on the app also means that they get a notification once their claim is received and payment is made in as little as three days.
Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC’s Director General for Customer Services, said, “Extra pounds count and Child Benefit can give your household budget a boost.
“Claiming online or managing your Child Benefit payments via the HMRC app is quick and easy, so if you haven’t already, go to GOV.UK to start your claim today.”
