Eligible to claim Child Benefit?

Post by peti2006 » Thu Aug 22, 2024 11:30 am

Hi,

I'd like to know if I'm eligible to claim Child Benefit?

I got two children, earning £65K per annual, holding ILR.
My husband is student and un-employed, also with ILR status.
Children are British citizens.

Thanks in advance.

As you hold ILR you are entitled to claim child benefit, if you qualify.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Your husband should claim child benefit, that will not only provide him some income but also protect his NI record.
