US EditionHMRC issues £1,354 a year warning for parents of teenagers
HMRC reminds 1.5 million parents to renew Child Benefit claims to maintain payments up to £1,354.60 annually for teenagers in full-time education or approved training.
- On August 19, 2025, HM Revenue and Customs reminded parents to renew their Child Benefit for 16 to 19-year-olds who will remain in education or training, so that payments can continue into September.
- HMRC previously contacted 1.5 million parents eligible to continue their Child Benefit payments, urging them to renew their claims by August 31 to prevent automatic suspension of payments.
- Parents can extend their Child Benefit claim easily and quickly via the HMRC app or online, with a record 67% having already done so to guarantee continued payments.
- Child Benefit provides a weekly payment of £26.05 for the first child in a family and £17.25 for each subsequent child, amounting to annual totals of £1,354.60 and £897 respectively, and is considered an important part of household finances, according to HMRC’s Myrtle Lloyd.
- HMRC’s appeal highlights that failing to extend claims risks losing benefit worth up to £2,251 and urges parents to act before the deadline to secure payments for their teenagers.
