sorry to interrupt this thread, i have the same questions as as ARy, we applied for ''child tax credit'' and they sent us another application form asking if we are claiming child benefits in which we dont(btw, is it correct that we are also entitle to this ''child benefit'' even if its a step daughter case)...also, they are asking the originals (foreign birth certificate/ passport) of our child for tax credit...although its a joint application , my husband is the one who will claim it ...Originally Posted by joebloggs
yes your husband can claim child benefit if they are his step children
also he can claim tax creds if he eligible, but its wise you don't make an actual claim until you have ilr, but you both must fill in the form, but only he should tick the box, where it asks about who is making a claim
my question is, what benefits are we entitled to?? is it both child benefit and child tax credit?? my husband is the main earner and he wants to know and claim what he is entitled to..any advice please thanks
