    I’m confused. People are telling me that because I receive One Parent Family my Child Benefit shouldn’t have been cut and that you can claim it back? How do I do this if the information is in fact correct..Many thanks.

    Hi Barbara,
    The Qualified child rate for all social welfare payments will be increased by €3.80 per week which makes up for this drop.
