Yes. If you are in payment, you will benefit from any of the double payments we had on child benefit last year. It is €140 per month per child and it is a welcome support to get. I know myself that child benefit covers many a bill or cost that comes into the house. When you are kitting out children for school, it does not matter whether they are 17 or 18. It will still cost the same amount of money to buy things like uniforms when you are getting them ready for school in September.
