My son s paperwork was supposed to be taken over by my husband as I was very I'll. I need his pls number but my husband says he never claimed for his children's allowance. So now I'm worried and confused. Where do i start ..I'm nervous starting a conversation with social welfare. How do i get his pps number..he is almost 2now! I feel like I've let my son down . I just need to know where to start and the steps. Thanks. to anyone who can advise me.

Is there a form I should fill.. although I read elsewhere that to child allowance I should have pps number to apply for that? I'm freaking out that my child is not registered at all !!😓😓

I'm just angry with myself for not following up on this but my health had been troublesome so much I didn't even think . I was sure my husband had looked after all of this. He said he did.

You aren’t claiming child benefit (though you were but your husband didn’t sort it)? This is an extra step to register with social welfare after No GP card. As above, this needs to be applied for separately to the above. Best thing to do is to take a deep breath, go to sleep and go into the social welfare office tomorrow to discuss with them.
