Parents throughout the UK were left out of pocket after problems with the HMRC system led to delays in sending out child benefit payments.
HMRC has confirmed issues with the system that sends the cash directly to bank accounts and the payments, which are usually made every four weeks, did not go through this morning for thousands of parents, including those living in the Falkirk area.
An HMRC spokesperson said: “We are aware some customers’ Child Benefit payments have not arrived and we are working to resolve this.”
