Claiming Child Benefit

Post by micz8 » Sat Apr 25, 2015 2:10 pm

Hi
I would be grateful if anyone on this forum help us with this issue:
Me and Wife are on ILR. We are in the process of Registering our both children as British Citizen on Form MN1 as they were born in the UK.
My questions are:

1. Can we claim child benefit now or shall we wait till they are registered as BC?
2. If we claim Child Benefit, will it have negative impact on my and my wife BC (naturalization) application next year?

Thanks

1. Can we claim child benefit now or shall we wait till they are registered as BC? You can claim now as you have ILR and are entitled to claim what you are eligible for.

2. If we claim Child Benefit, will it have negative impact on my and my wife BC (naturalization) application next year? No it won't.
