    If you intend to live in Spain you must be aware you will be a benefit cheat if you claim and the government are clamping down.
    Sorry no benefits if you are resident in another country only folk entitled to government money are retirement pensioners

        As far as I understand it (correction please if I am wrong) you can claim child benefit if you move to Spain as it is a qualifiying Country. I think that you would have to be claiming this before you move from the U.K. though

          My children are way past the child benefit stage (other than they see me as their beneactor)
          However there was a lot of newspaper talk recently about Poles claiming in UK for their children back in Poland. What became clear is that you can claim - but for the country rate. you are living in.

          Dont know how much in Spain but would bet it aint as much as 'Treasure Island'

                I think you will find you are wrong. I came out 7 years ago and informed Child Benefit and it was stopped, so unless it has changed, I would say you are not entitled to it.

                  Would seem that we are all right as you can claim if the following applies but in many cases of course it will not.


                  Taken from the Government website.

                  Child Benefit if you're living or working abroad
                  If you go abroad to live or work you may still be able to get Child Benefit. If you're only going abroad for less than eight weeks, you can carry on getting Child Benefit without doing anything further.....
                  If you move abroad permanently
                  If you're going abroad permanently, or expect to be away for more than 52 weeks, you won't qualify for Child Benefit unless both of the following apply:
                  you are moving to an EEA country or Switzerland
                  you are paying UK NICs or receiving a UK National Insurance-related benefit
                  EEA countries are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

                      I agree totally with reference to benefits, with one exception if you have paid into the NIC for 44 years, and that is 4 over the requirement, you are more than entitled to take retirement pension
                      god knows there aren't many who actually work for that amount of years full time these days inthe UK

                        The rules have now changed its 30 years. 44 years went a while ago. We was surprised when we got our pension forecast from the government to told we have 30/30 and we would get our full pensions.

                          Went to a seminar in Torrevieja yesterday held by the DWP and the British Consulate and from the information given you are entitled to child benefit when moving to Spain

                            That is not correct. Go to the British counsel site, it explains other benefits other than pension that you will be entitled to receive in Spain including long term incapacity benefits and child allowance if you follow the correct procedure
