Yesterday (23 August), HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) reminded parents and carers of 16 to 19-year-olds that they have just one week left to confirm whether their teenager is staying in full-time education or approved training.
HMRC has written to 1.3 million parents and carers of children, who are in the last year of school or education, to remind them to update their Child Benefit records. More than 600,000 families have already notified HMRC, but many have yet to do so.
Parents and carers can update their Child Benefit records using their personal tax account on GOV.UK, by returning a completed copy of the form they were sent earlier in the year, or by telephone.
The deadline to update records is 31 August.
