Child Benefit (ChB) is a regular payment made to anyone bringing up children. It's paid for each child that qualifies and isn't affected by your income or savings.

如何申请

You should claim Child Benefit as soon as:
your child is born
a child comes to live with you
you adopt a child
you start to contribute to the cost of looking after a child
To get Child Benefit you'll need to complete a claim form and submit the child's birth or adoption certificate.

If your child has just been born, you should have got a claim form in your "Bounty Pack" from the hospital. Or you can complete a form online (or print one out to fill in later) at the HM Revenue & Customs website.
