Relocation to USA / UK Child Benefit
Hello
Has anyone any experience re claiming child benefit (or not) once you have left the UK - I am a UK citizen and so is my son and we as a family will be earning below the UK Gov threshold whilst here (for +52 weeks) ? HM Gov Website is in- conclusive.. as says neither yes nor no.. Going abroad permanently You must tell us straightaway if you, your child, children, or all of you leave the UK permanently or for an absence that’s likely to last more than 52 weeks from when you leave. Thanks Robert |

Hello - thanks for replies and confirmation - this was what I anticipated but wanted to make sure.
As we have just arrived we will cancel so not be in debit to CB. |
Re: Relocation to USA / UK Child Benefit
It never ceases to amaze me why anyone would think their UK benefits would continue when living in a foreign county. There is only one benefit that you can receive, and that's the State Pension, and that's only because you paid into the system before moving. If you haven't, you won't get that either.
I would think that the receipt of CB would be weighed as a reason to move countries or not, along with everything else. |

Hello - (civil servant) - interestingly it never ceases to amaze me when people pass judgement when also offering advice.

Re: Relocation to USA / UK Child Benefit
Trust me, this is not the first time this has come up.
Also, you don't get to determine how someone answers you post on an open forum. 'Free speech' and all that. “before moving and/or continue to make class 2 contributions” |

Hello Civil Servant,
Yes you are correct I dont get to determine how someone answers posted on an open forum. 'Free speech' and all that. However Most people will use this forum the reasons as intended and not as a vent for satisfying another agenda. Maybe you should try yogo or gardening before viewing content as I hear it helps..... As you seem proud of your reputation to provide un-necessary and un-helpful opinions i dont for one minute think your style will change which is unfortunate for what I imagine is a vast majority of members. To everyone else (the majority) thank you for all the help advice and support that this forum has provided. |

As you seem proud of your reputation to provide un-necessary and un-helpful opinions i dont for one minute think your style will change 10 years of being on this board, so you're probably right. Anyway, you have your answer. |

That said you should be thankful your post didn't attract the attention of our resident grouchy, grumpy, grinch who's posts tend not to pull any punches, and are often not even sweetened with any particularly useful information. :( |

^^^^^^
If that was aimed at me, it's incredibly insensitive and inaccurate. However, you'll be pleased to know that I won't be offering any information, sweetened or not, useful or not, thanks to the ignorance of certain people on this forum. Goodbye. |
