CCM18180 - Child Benefit and Tax Credits: Information Powers

The guidance at CCM5050 to CCM5180 tells you what information powers are available for tax credits.

For Child Benefit you can ask for information

before a decision is made on a claim (Regulation 7 Administration Regulations)
to decide whether a claim should be revised or superseded (Regulation 19 Decisions and Appeals Regulations).

For both jointly worked cases and stand alone Child Benefit cases the claimant should be given a minimum of 40 days to provide the information.
