#ChildBenefit update - pls share
After my Twitter poll earlier which indicates 80% of those expecting child benefit payments this morning haven't got them, we contacted HMRC. It's told us...
- 30% of people who should have been paid today haven’t been (possible, the poll is self selecting so those who haven't got are more likely to respond), this still likely means huge numbers of people.
- HMRC doesn’t have an exact cause or timeframe on fixing the problem to share at this stage! Though it is working on it urgently.
- It request people DON'T call it right now about this (it won't help till they sort. We'll update when we hear more).
- Once the issue has been fixed, if people are out of pocket, they should complain to HMRC for redress (so I'd suggests this means if you've had a charge as a payment bounced due to no Child Benefit, note it down and then later try asking it to cover that charge).
More updates when we have them

Survivors who are involved in family court proceedings and are litigants in person can be stitched up like a kipper. Courts need to be alive to this and prevent this happening otherwise they’re colluding with the abuser. They need to ensure that the survivor has a copy of the CVs of any proposed experts, that they are given enough time to identify and propose an expert, that they have input into the letter of instruction and questions to the expert, and that the bundle sent to the expert is complete and doesn’t omit the survivor’s evidence. Any changes of experts need to be discussed and agreed with the survivor and not dumped on them as a fait accompli.

After 10 years of an abusive marriage including rape, and a 5yrs court battle, ex MP Andrew Griffiths has been barred from contact with his child as he failed to show he “understand or acknowledge the impact his conduct had on the child”.
