Hi Ana, Welcome to the forum, what's your husband's forum ID?
My wife claimed Child Benefit as soon as my step-daughter arrived here in 2007 and she even recieved some back payments. She was also on a spouse visa (no recourse to public funds) and she even got some As far as I know, Child benefit can be claimed by anyone who has a child or children, regardless of their income, regardless of any other benefits that the childs parent may be claiming and regardless of immigration status. If you do not claim it on their behalf, then your husband definately should.
Iain.
