    My little one was born in the middle of October last year (9 months ago) and I didn't put in for CA, it said on the form that you have 12 months to complete it.

    I sent off the form there 2days ago just wondering if anyone has been in similar circumstances and if it was back paid? She's my first child.

    Thanks

    If you meet all the eligibility criteria, Child Benefit payments will be backdated.

    Time For Claiming

    Child Benefit must be claimed within 12 months after either:
    the month in which the child was born, or
    the month the child became a member of the family or came to reside in Ireland.
    When the claim is made within this time period, Child Benefit will be paid from the first day of the month after the child is born or becomes a member of the family or after the family takes up residence in Ireland.
