 Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 2:45 pm Post subject: Claiming child benefits under ILR status |
 |
|
Hello all,
Our family (myself, wife and two minor children) have ILR status for the last 6 months. Can we legally claim Child Benefits from HMRC without breaching conditions of our resident permit? Would this adversely impact any future British Citizenship application?
Regards,
Omar |

You are absolutely entitled to claim benefits. You're no longer subject to Immigration control so this won't affect a BC application.
Your Child Benefit claim should be back-dated by the way.  |

I'm paying a good amount of tax each month so would be nice to get something back 
Thanks for confirming!
Cheers

I would like to ask same question but with situation -
Me and MyWife were granted ILR last week.
My 2 yr old uk born son is entitled for British citizenship hence I am in process of applying or bc via MN1
Can I claim benefits for my SON right now (on basis of my ILR and before his BC/british passport is received).

| So if you have the same scenario and the same question what makes you think the answer will be any different? |

Thanks Greenie for quick reply,
Sorry for not explaining the scenario clearly.
The differece between mine and oqureshi's story is that I have not applied ILR for my SON. I am planning to apply for his MN1 directly (and then British passport) which might take another 3-4 months itself. Can I claim for child benefits in this mean time because I have been granted with ILR but my SON is with NO VISA.

It is not your son claiming the benefits it is you so it is your entitlement that is
matters. |
