[Amidlopez]

I have separated from my partner,who is claiming benefit my my children,should I tell hmrc about it,as I am subjected to immigration control,will I still get the benefit,.....or can someone else claim it for me,thanks

What exactly is your immigration status? Which Country are you native to?

A person who is single and subject to immigration control cannot claim child benefit or tax credits, if someone else is responsible for the children they may be able to claim.

I have a pending application at the home office..i am from nigeria.i have uk born children.

[Amidlopez]

I am the only person responsible for my children..but my partner was claiming benefit for the children on his name

You need to contact social services to help provide for your children if you're unable to claim benefits because you are an overtsayer or subject to immigration control.

[Amidlopez]

Ok.but can social service help me when i am subject to immigration control

[Amber]

Yes, they have a statutory duty to help children.
