Just want to check that I am not eligible for this Both my children were born between 86 - 02 however we were out of the country for 2002 - 2003 but I did pay tax on savings? I'm tempted to put in my application just to see.

Are you British? Do you have children born before 2002? Did you leave Britain after 2002?
If you answer yes to these questions then you are, apparantly, entitled to claim a one off child benefit payment amounting to approx £500 (per kid I think). Apparantly it was something the government brought in as part of the family benefits overhall in 2002 but they forgot to inform people they had to actually apply for it. It's called The Children's Tax Allowance.
The deadline for applying for this is the end of the month. So if you think you qualify, you need to get your skates on. You claim it by ringing the tax office on 0845 3021437. I shall be ringing them first thing in the morning.
Good luck.

To anyone else who thinks they can claim it do so as soon as possible. It would have been great to get tax credit for the year before. I guess they kept that quiet for a reason. Thanks again.

If it relates to a year that you were resident in the UK they owe it to you, its your money not theirs and they should have given it to you back in 2002
