Dear All
Would someone on a spouse visa be able to claim child benefit for a child who is a british citizen?
I understand the answer is yes, based on gov guidance: https://www.gov.uk/child-benefit-move-to-uk
"You must have been living in the UK for 3 months if you arrived on or after 1 July 2014 to be eligible for Child Benefit.
You do not have to have been living in the UK for 3 months if you arrived on or after 1 July 2014 and:
•have a family member who works or is self-employed"
and
"You’re ‘subject to immigration control’
You cannot claim Child Benefit if you’re subject to immigration control, unless you’re:
•a sponsored immigrant - someone else has agreed to be financially responsible for you"
