Depends on certain things check entitledto website

Thank I'll take a look

Thanks admin for moving post for me.

Do you mean financial help?

Yes

Hi Flobochin,

Just thought we'd point you in the direction of our Family Money guide. There's a page with information on work and benefits for lone parents. Please take a look.

It's also worth checking out an organisation called Gingerbread - it's a charity which supports single parent families and can give you all the information you need about benefits, tax credits and universal credit. They have a page on support for single dads too.

Hope this help. Sending good wishes.

That is so helpful, thanks - this is all new to me so any help is very much appreciated.

Can a lone parent claim child benefit if they live overseas and child born overseas but both British citizen?

No- I really don't think so.

You don't live here but want to claim benefits from here?

What country are you currently residing ?

You can claim benefits if you are British and living overseas if you work for the British Government or Army.
