I can't answer that. The Child Benefit Office comes under the umbrella of HMRC but, in reality, it's separate. I was only involved in Income Tax and Tax Credits. It's even more amazing in that, in Tax Credit Claimant Compliance, we had to have special clearance (and limited access) to get any information on Child Benefits and we certainly didn't get the sort of information that was, apparently, in these files.
