child benefit

[prem_singh123]

Hello,
this question may be answered some where but I couldn't find it hence asking here.
I am a British Citizen and my wife is on spouse visa. we recently had our first baby, I want to apply for child benefit but I am stuck on one question in child benefit form which is
question no 32: Is your partner entitled to Child Benefit now or are they waiting to hear if they can get Child Benefit
any advice will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

That would be a no, as she won't be entitled to child benefit while on a spouse visa.

If there is a box where you can explain further, I would write under immigration control or '' no recourse to public funds''.

Child benefit would only be applicable to you only as you are BC.
