Mums and dads could be owed £173 a month or more from the Labour Party and HMRC. But HMRC Child Benefit eligibility can vary greatly depending on the child's age, their type of training or education, and the parent's earnings.

The amount you receive may also be more or less than the £173 figure, depending on how many children you're claiming for. At a flat rate, the HMRC can provide £26.05 per week from Child Benefit for the eldest child, while any additional children will receive £17.25 per week.

So, if you have two children and claim Child Benefit for both, you could receive £43.30 per week. You are eligible to claim Child Benefit if you are responsible for a child under 16, or if they are under 20 and still in approved education or training.
