You may be able to claim Child Benefit if you are responsible for 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 usually have to be the child’s parent. It is not means-tested, but a High Income Child Benefit Charge may apply where you or your partner has adjusted net income above the relevant threshold. Residence and education rules can affect eligibility, so check the latest guidance on GOV.UK.
