Baby premium form April
Is the baby premium going from April for existing claims or just for new claims?
I notice the LASA benefit rates leaflet still has a baby premim on it.
It all ends in April, dependant on individual circumstances, see para’s 29 to 34 of A26/2010.
The £10.50 additional family premium (baby premium) for HB/CTB will cease in April (ending 11 April at the latest) - see paras 29-34 of circular A26/2010 ( http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/a26-2010.pdf .)
[The 10.50 addition remains in the (draft) URO but Reg 2(8)(a) of The Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2010 (see http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/2449/made ) amends schedule 3 para 3(2) HB Regs to make the additional FP dependent on receipt of baby rate CTC family element - CTC family element is (expected to be) withdrawn from 6 April without transitional protection - see draft TC uprating: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2011/9780111507094 ]
