uin	2025
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2023 answer text <p>Where no one has claimed Child Benefit, the government allows claims to be backdated three months. Three months backdating is already more generous than most other social security benefits. A more generous backdating would make it harder to verify evidence and establish entitlement since entitlement to Child Benefit relies upon being responsible for a child each week. For this reason, the government believes that the three-month backdating period for Child Benefit is a fair and reasonable time in which to allow those wishing to claim Child Benefit to do so.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 22/11/2023 08:12:20 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
