Child Benefit - HSMP Renewal

[anoop_mun]

Hello All,

My HSMP renewal will be due in a few months now but wanted to clear if I am doing something wrong here.

My daughter is an Irish Citizen with an Irish Passport. She was getting her child benefit in Ireland till April last year. Later in May we decided to inform the Irish authorities and subsequently her child benefit was stopped in Ireland.

The Irish authorities informed that she being an Irish citizen is entitled for her benefit in any EEA state. In May last year I had applied for Child benefit which was approved by HMRC.

Now when my HSMP is coming for renewal would this affect me since the child benefit is coming under my name. I had a look at some of the definitions of Child benefit exemptions to which I was an exact match.

a) I’m a member of the family of an EEA national - am I eligible for any benefits?

If you are living with another family member who is an EEA national – for example, your child or your partner – you may be eligible for
the following benefits:

• Child benefit
• A social fund payment
• Attendance allowance
• Severe disablement allowance
• Carer’s allowance
• Disability living allowance

Can sombody kindly guide me if there is any wrong doing on my part and if not what documents should I be sending while HSMP renewal to inform the case worker about my exceptional case.
