Child Benefit is a monthly payment to the parents or guardians of children under 16 years of age. Child Benefit can also be claimed for children aged 16 and 17, if they are in full-time education or full-time training or have a disability and cannot support themselves.
The person concerned has not submitted an application for child benefit to date and, consequently, the Department are not in a position to determine if the person would meet the conditions of the scheme.
The person concerned should be advised to make an application. Details on the application process are available on www.gov.ie .
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
