Child benefit?

[harryt]

I have just received a letter from HMRC stating that my child benefit has gone up from �18.80 to � 20.00 per week.
Is everyone's rate going up as i cant see any mention of it on the website?

Yes, everyone's has gone up.

No probs - My husband got the letter and I didn't pay too much notice, so I am not sure what amount ours ihas gone up (we have 2 kids), but I think that the child benefit system is fairly straightforward compared to the Tax credits one so there is a lot less margin for error.
