If you're eligible, you'll get £21.05 a week for your first child and £13.95 a week for any children after that.Child Benefit is usually paid every four weeks either on a Monday or a Tuesday, although some people can arrange to receive the payment weekly if they are a single parent or if their partner is getting certain benefits, such as Income Support.
