Claim Child Benefits

Post by prana72009 » Tue Feb 28, 2023 7:47 pm

Hi,

I was wondering if you could help me with a question I have regarding claiming Child Benefits. The main applicant's ILR was approved in November, and the dependent visa was approved last week for ILR. We would like to claim Child Benefits under the dependent.

My question is, can we submit the Child Benefits claim under the dependent's name from three months back? As far as I know, you can only submit a claim that is backdated up to three months.

Thank you in advance for your help!

If the dependent only got ILR last week, it cannot be backdated to before ILR grant date as the dependent had no recourse to public funds.
