Petition Action

Enforce CMS /CB to do more checks if child is actually attending education

Petition Details

Currently there is massive loopholes where a parent with care can claim child benefit and child maintenance without any proper checks in place. The cms have openly admitted they only call the resident parent. This is not a proper investigation

Additional Information

This simple check at the start and mid term could save the government money by not paying unnecessary child benefit. Child benefit do not check that any children are actually attending colleges etc

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

While we can see that you'd like the Government to improve how Child Benefit is allocated, it's not clear exactly how you'd like the CMS to change its processes. You might start a petition asking the CMS to review its process for checking children's school attendance when allocating child benefits.
