Parents could see a major boost in the upcoming budget as there have been calls to extend the age of Child Benefit.
Budget 2024 will be finalised and announced by the 10th of October, but the government are currently deliberating on what measures to go ahead with. The party's Social Protection spokesperson said: "I will be suggesting to my Party colleagues tomorrow that child benefit should be extended up to the age of 19 for all those in full time education.
"An increase in the age would ensure that many households across the country will benefit from additional support to help with the increased cost of living and for many working families this is the only social welfare payment they receive from the State which they rely on to help pay for essentials."
