    Hi lostwars

    it is unlikely you will receive an increase for a qualified child (IQC) as your son would not be considered to be living with you. One test around this is on children's allowance - usually it is necessary for you to be receiving the Child Benefit payment (children's allowance) to claim the IQC.
