Claiming child benefit- kids still under dependant visa

Post by gers » Sun Feb 21, 2016 2:49 pm

Hi
I'm an ilr holder but my wife and 2 kids are still under pbs dependant visa. Both kids born outside uk. My question is can i claim child benefit while my kids are under immigration control. Is there any link that clarify this confusion.

Yes, you can, if the children are in the UK. Child benefit in your name and tax credits in joint names.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
