child benefit

Did you get someone intelligent to help you with that post?

looks like a cut and paste scouser keith

but its worth thinking about where your kids are born..

any phil born child will be British if you are British otherwise than by descent. So it can depend upon where you were born.

If however you "inherited" British Citizenship from your parent(s) but you were born outside the UK, that is you are British by descent, then your children will only be British if born in the UK, but will not be British if born outside the UK.

so a phil-born child is going to be British by descent. That means that their children ... your grandchildren ... will only be British if born in the UK. If born outside the UK then they will not be British.

Compared to ... if the child is born in the UK then they will be British otherwise than by descent ... and thus their children will be British wherever born in the world.
