Child benefit to be disregarded?
Wed 13-May-09 02:47 PM

I keep hearing, from various sources, that Child Benefit will soon be disregarded as income for HB and CTB for under 60's. Perhaps I was asleep when this was announced, but it seems to have passed me by. Has anyone got any information on this? Many thanks.
