Baz Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 If you require a fast response, it is always best to first look in "Search" before posting a question. I hope this previous thread gives you your answer.http://www.livingfrance.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=764&forum=DCForumID3&archive=yesBaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montcigoux Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 The first step is to inform the DSS in Newcastle that you are moving to France. They will then send you a form to fill in and a booklet about claiming child benefit abroad. The purpose of the form is to determine whether or not they should continue to pay you UK child benefit. You need a certificate from them to say that they have ceased to pay UK child benefit before you can claim in France. I am at this first stage myself and I am awaiting the certificate. The booklet seems to imply that you can still have UK child benefit or opt for French child benefit if it is higher. I will add more as I find out!
