Proceeding contribution from Lord Martin of Springburn (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Child Benefit Up-rating Order 2010.
Child Benefit Up-rating Order 2010
My Lords, forgive me, but I do not have the full paperwork in front of me. I have a question regarding the guardian’s allowance. If I picked up what the Minister said correctly, it appears that the child benefit allowance is higher than the guardian’s allowance. Does that put guardians at a disadvantage? Obviously, a guardian comes about because of the changed circumstances of a child—a child could be left an orphan or with parents in long-term care in hospital. Form-filling is required for the potential guardian to get the allowance. What is the normal time specification from the date of the submission of the form until payment of the guardian’s allowance?
