Child Benefit: Northern Ireland

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the average time taken is to process child benefit claims from the day of application to the day of payment in Northern Ireland in the last 12 months.

Answer

HM Revenue and Customs regularly track the overall processing times for new Child Benefit claims. However, the processing times for those claims received specifically from Northern Ireland are not readily available and cannot be provided without incurring disproportionate cost.
