Child benefit - son not born the UK

Hi,

I have recently got my ILR and was told by my friends that I can claim child benefits. Is that right.

Also, my son is not born in the UK. If I can claim child benefits; would he be eligible to get the benefit?

Thanks, Kiran

Yes, as long as he is in the UK now.

The parents claim CB not the child.

Thanks Lucapooka for clearing up the confusion as I was thinking even UK settled parents of non UK born children with ' no recourse to public funds ' restriction can't claim CB.

Is it possibe for a person with ILR to claim child tax credit for a child not born in UK but got dependent visa with the words "join the father" and "no recourse to public fund? Can anyone help, thank you an advance.
