Child Benefits after ILR

[jnikki4u]

Hi,

I have received ILR in June and would like to know if I am eligible for any child benefits or not ?

1. I am in Mat leave
2. I used to get more than 50K before mat leave.
3. My husband is on Tier1 Dep - With no recourse to public funds.
4. We have applied for MN1 Certificate and still waiting.

Kidly help as I have no idea and could not infer from the gov.uk site.

Cheers
Nikki

You can claim if you qualify. However, if your joint household income exceeds £40K (maybe £50K), unlikely you will qualify for it.

Are you going going back to work or have you left your job?
