Child benefit isn’t paid for every child, only those where the highest earning parent earns under £60,000. So if one of you earns £60,001 you don’t get it, although if both parents earn £59,999 you do. Not sure why this was never based on household income, I didn’t qualify for my son as my income was over the then threshold, yet my sister-in-law did although their household income was higher (my husband was our childcare and had minimal/no income).
