The taxpayer could be left with a hefty bill if all take up the offer
More than half a million parents who were left short-changed due to a blunder by HM Revenue and Customs earlier this month, which saw them miss their regular Child Benefit payments, have started receiving £50 compensation.
Those families who felt the pinch from the delayed Child Benefit can seek additional compensation for the inconvenience caused by HMRC's mistake. With the vast number of parents involved, HMRC could be looking at a hefty sum to cover the £50 goodwill gestures, the M.E.N reports.
HMRC's most recent data from August 2023 reveals that there were 6.91 million families receiving Child Benefit payments. At the time, HMRC acknowledged a "processing error" and stated they were working on it "urgently".
