answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2024 answer text <p>The higher rate of Child Benefit can only be paid for the eldest child. It is intended to help all families with children, acknowledging the impact on a family’s finances of the arrival of a child/children in the family. The arrival of a child for the first time may mean for instance that many parents have to give up work altogether or work reduced hours. When Child Benefit ends for the eldest child, the higher rate becomes payable for the next eldest child. The government keeps all policies under review in the usual way.</p><p>Financial support for kinship carers is paid at the discretion of the local authority and in accordance with their model for assessing support needs. There is no limit on the level of support, including financial support, that local authorities can provide. The local authority should have in place clear eligibility criteria in relation to the provision of support services.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 26/03/2024 14:52:48 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
