US EditionAll the DWP pension changes to payments for May 2025
- Millions of families in the UK face changes to their Child Benefit payments in May 2025 due to updated rates and payment schedule adjustments.
- These changes stem from a 1.7% increase in Child Benefit rates effective from April 2025, alongside early payment dates caused by two bank holidays in May.
- Families now receive £26.05 per week for the first or only child, raised from £25.60, and £17.25 for each additional child, up from £16.95.
- Approximately seven million households receive Child Benefit for about 13 million children; however, families with more than two children do not receive additional payments for any children born after April 6, 2017.
- These updates suggest ongoing support for low-income families, though the two-child limit continues to restrict additional Universal Credit and Tax Credit benefits for larger families.
