I didn't get one, as I no longer have children to claim for, as I sent them away to earn their keep by cleaning chimneys.

:shock: I received one too, I am interested in what the total figure is of families receiving child benefit - 25 million sounds like it covers every child in the UK, are they using this number instead of saying well actually we have lost everyones details.  Bouncy - you want to hope that letter is not lost because that aswell contained confidential information, such as your national insurance number.

Crikey, I'm now getting worried because I haven't had a letter!  What should I do?

A)  Count my lucky stars, sit back and look smug

B)  Be concerned that I may be the only person who's details weren't lost

C)  Post my personal details on youtube/myface/ebay, hell may aswell because the government are bound to loose my details at sometime in the next 12 months.

D)  Spend the next month sat by my letter box waiting for the fateful letter to arrive.


If anyone on here discovered that there identities had been stolen due to this incompetence, would you try and sue HMRC?

I seem to recall something about the data being on child benefit claimants, so if you haven't got kids you should be OK.

The comical thing is according to the papers, they've managed to send them to the wrong families in some instances...
