Child Benefit is one of the welfare system and a tax-free payment that is paid to families who have children under 16 and live in the UK. The payment rate is different for each child .Moreover it is usually paid monthly or weekly.The following table illustrates these rates:

 

 Who the allowance is for                                  Current  monthly amount

In Iran,there is not child benefit system.In my oppinon this kind of welfare system is very helpful for many families especially who don't have enought mony to support their children.
