Child Benefit And Pensions For Mothers

EDM number 680 in 2016-17, proposed by Gregory Campbell on 16/11/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Benefits policy, Child support and Pensions.

That this House notes recent reports indicating that under current regulations tens of thousands of mothers will lose out on future pension entitlements as a result of changes to child benefit rules, whereby mothers who have just given birth and may overlook completing child benefit forms in the immediate aftermath of the birth stand to lose significant sums from their pension; and calls on the Government to take steps to address this anomaly as a matter of urgency.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
