Child benefit

Post by Hugh12 » Wed Apr 07, 2021 8:52 pm

Hi everyone.

My wife is on a 5 year route and has extended already. Her visa states she can't claim benefits. Does this include child benefits? We recently had a child and was wondering if she can claim the child benefit. Thank you for your help.

Assuming that you aren't under Immigration Control, you must claim the child benefit in your name only.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
