the non-EEA national is effectively treated as an EEA national for the purposes of RoR.
as long as they are a "qualified person" (ie: working etc) then they are allowed to claim any local benefits (tax credits / child benefit etc).
note: the child's nationality has no bearing... it is not the child that claims, but the parent
