Child benefits - Partner in prison
If your partner was claiming Child Benefit for a child you now have responsibility for, they can transfer the claim to you.
If you are already claiming Universal Credit you should update your journal to report your change of circumstances. If you have not been claiming Universal Credit you will need to make a new claim. Use the Turn2us Benefits Calculator to check your entitlement.
