Child Trust Fund

Hi Mummies
Sorry to be nosey but have any of you done your child trust fund yet? I was under the impression i got the information about it when i received the confirmation of child benefit - i received that today (wow, a whole ??20 a week!!) but nothing about the trust fund.
Do i do this myself? If so, can someone point me in the right direction and what do i need to actually do??
Thanks xxx

    Hi Kelly

    I also have just received confimation on my child benefit and the information on child trust fund came the next day, it also said that I should receive the cheque to invest within 14 days if not to contact them.

    I received my child benefit letter last week and then this week I had the information pack about the child trust fund which informed me that I would have the ??250 voucher shortly!!

    Mine took about 2 weeks to come back. You are backdated to the 1st monday after your baby was born. I was only told last week that I was eligible and have already received my backdated money so they are relatively quick

    Oh that's good Luc86 cos I had absolutely no idea what I could/ should be claiming because I didn't get a Bounty pack in hospital with all the details in it. Anyway, I sent it off last week so hopefully I should hear back soon then!
