i and my child s father are unmarried,, in fact we do not reallly talk..i have a child for him.im on flr(O) as sole carer of british child but her dad is british.of course we do not live together,im taking care of her mainly but of course i know im not allowed to claim child tax credit.her dad wants to do thsi for her but i would need to know how to do this without affecting me.
he does not want the money to go to his bank account if it is succesful, he wants it to go into mine..is that possible without it affecting me (does it mean i m not claiming public funds)

When were you granted DLR, was it for 3 years? If so, you should be able to claim public funds.

it was for 2.5 years and it states im not allowedto claim.
also if my mum can claim, what category would she claim for,,
would she say my daughter is her daughter
thanks

Your mother can claim the child benefit and child tax credits, she'd say she was responsible for the child/children, I assume you all live together.

I suggest requesting a change of BRP status as per https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... dition.pdf in the best interest of the children and due to destitution.

Thank you very much Amber..so she would say she is the carer of the child and one last thing like I said earlier ?can she put my bank account details as the receiving account ..we have the same surname and initial

She would say she is responsible for the child. You would have to enquire about the payment, it may be acceptable.
