When is 1st payment of new child benefit due

Is this the full amount of 1K or is this pro-rated over the year ? For a child born in April will it be available? Also - is this paid in the same way as child benefit (e.g. into bank account)?

When will the payments issue?
The first payment will issue during August 2006, to cover the period from April 1st to June 30th 2006.
The second payment will be made in October 2006, to cover the period from July 1st to September 30th.
The third payment will issue in December 2006, to cover the period from October 1st to December 31st.
€250 each time.

If they qualify for CB in April then I presume that the answer is yes
to be paid at the end of each quarter (that is, every three months) for each child under 6 years of age who receives Child Benefit.

As far as I know it's paid the same way as CB - cash at the PO or lodged to (in most cases) the mother's bank account.
 
i have a daughter who was 7 on the 2nd may, her d.o.b. is 02051999, does she qualify for this new payment.
