Child benefit confusion

[BirthdayBeast]

So I'm sure this is me being dense but I'm confused by question 32 on the child benefit application form. It asks: Is your partner entitled to child benefit now or are they waiting to hear if they can get child benefit? It then asks for my partner's child benefit number.

We already claim for our dd and I am now applying for my newborn ds.

I applied for my dd and the money is paid to me. The same will happen for my ds.

Does this question refer to a child that my partner may have had outside of our marriage?
Does it refer to our dd to whom we (I) already claim for (and whom I mentioned in my section on p2)?

I'm not sure how I answer this and I can't find any guidance in the notes.

The question I'm stuck on

If your husband already had a child and you were not the mother but the child lived with you and your husband claimed CB for that child then you will have to give the information for that child. It because the 1st child gets the higher rate, so your husbands child would get the higher rate and your new child would get the lower rate.

As you already get CB your new child will get the lower rate anyway. 2 children living in the same house cannot both be given the higher rate.

So this question doesn’t apply to you.

So in a nutshell you don’t need to fill this part in as it doesn’t apply to you.

Thank you! I assumed that's what it meant but then I started over thinking it and got muddled

Thank god for Google. Iam confused by same question and so assuming I tick no as I am on same situation
