You can usually claim Child Benefit if you are responsible for bringing up a child under 16, or under 20 if they remain in approved education or training. Only one person can receive Child Benefit for each child, and you do not normally need to be the child’s parent. Your income does not usually stop you claiming, but the High Income Child Benefit Charge may apply if you or your partner has adjusted net income above the relevant threshold. Check the latest rules and apply through GOV.UK, as eligibility and tax treatment depend on your circumstances.
