Who gets it? Anyone or do you have to be on benefits?

 

[cassi]

anyone havnt you had any leaflets for it?

 

[chezzabell]

anyone gets it hun, but i think if ur on benefits u may get more, i think not sure.

 

[Lauz_1601]

its becuase she's turened one hun. You get a second payment for their 1st birthday, its great isnt it

 

[budge]

do u really lauz? I didn't.

 

[chezzabell]

when did they bring the 2nd payment in???

 

[nikki1306]

I thought the second payment came when they are 7/8 can't remember which xx

 

[budge]

i didn't know about a second payment. And why do people on benefits get more for their child? Thats not fair.

 

[Minime]

anyone havnt you had any leaflets for it?

Errrr no. And I got told I'm no longer entitled to childrens tax credit.
Robbing B&$^£%&*^%!!!!

I used to get a childrens allowance on my tax which was a reward for working, basically I had a higher tax code. Then they changed it to childrens tax credit and now they've robbed me of that *humph*

 

[budge]

you must be earning loads though.

 

[nikki1306]

Just had a look and you get another £250 on the childs 7th birthday and people on low incomes will get an additional £250 on top of that xx

 

[budge]

i think that people on a low income should only get the same as us. After all its for the child whenb it reaches adulthood. Whos to say they won't be a millionaire by then

 

[Minime]

you must be earning loads though.

I earn a modest amount, not the point though, I used to get a higher tax code as I had a child and they changed the system to CTC and I feel they have underhandedly taken away that little reward.

 

[chezzabell]

i totally agree with budge i dont see why people on benefits should get more
