Child Benefit rules are the same in Manchester as elsewhere in the UK. You can usually claim if you are responsible for a child under 16, or under 20 if they remain in approved education or training, and the child normally lives with you. Only one person can receive Child Benefit for each child, and a High Income Child Benefit Charge may apply if you or your partner has higher income. Check the latest rules and make a claim through the official GOV.UK Child Benefit page.
