Example:

Mark normally lives with his mother who is being paid Child Benefit and she notifies Child Benefit that every other week Mark normally visits his dad and stays for 5 days. Dad has not made a claim for child benefit. Mark has only stayed a total of 4 days with his father because he has been in hospital for 6 weeks (42 days) in the last 16 weeks. The hospital period is not included as absence by Child Benefit because Mark바카라 사이트™s mother has continued to support him financially at more than the Child Benefit weekly rate, so Mark has been absent from his mother for 4 days in the last 16 weeks. Child Benefit entitlement remains with his mother and payment can continue.
