Can my child receive child benefits themselves?

Yes, under certain conditions, your child can receive child benefits for themselves:

  • From the age of 16, a young person can receive child benefits if they live alone, meaning at a different address from their parents.
  • If the young person is married, even if they still live with their parents.
  • If the young person has one or more children for whom they receive child benefits.
