Cable Forum - View Single Post - child benefit government plan to implement changes

On the mooted change we'd now lose it as due to a site move I'm currently receiving relocation expenses taking us over the limit. Currently we pay the benefit (or most of it) into our youngun's trust funds so the money is being used "for them".

Much better if they looked at combined income and a higher threshold so we don't have families with one earner just over the limit having nowt and two earners each just below still receiving.

There does need to be a review of this and other parts of the civil service and state provision though.
