Personally, for something that was, I believe, introduced post war to encourage a baby boom is it really needed nowadays. The whole system of child allowance needs an overhaul and those who genuinely need it should receive it. There will always be a cut off point and be it based on household income etc. needs to be sorted.
What has and still baffles me is why millionaires still receive it.............I mean come on! As one local wealthy woman said to me a few years ago when her three kids where younger 'it's bloody ridiculous, I really do not need it, give it to those who do need it'. She gave it to UK childrens charities in the end.
