    They don't usually backdate child benefit unless the child in question was in school.

    Will try this here rather than starting a new thread, I've a question on child benefit, hope the OP doesn't mind.

    If a minor is living in Ireland but both parents are living overseas can the child still claim the child benefit, if attending school here? How would it be gone about?

    Child benefit can only be claimed by a parent/legal guardian who are resident in the state.
