when was child benefit paid for the first child?
1975
in 1975, castle introduced the child benefit act, superseding the family allowances act 1945. the act provided new support for families' first child, unlike the previous system in place, which provided benefit for second and subsequent children. castle also ensured child benefit would be paid directly to mothers, not fathers, unlike family allowance, the previous system in place. the legislation faced opposition from unions whose male members would receive less take-home pay with the loss of family allowance.
