Where an application for child benefit is made by a person who is not a parent of the child(ren) concerned the Department contacts the parents/guardians of the children for further information and confirmation (or otherwise) of the information provided in the application.

In this case, the required information has been requested from the relevant persons and the Department is awaiting their replies. Once this information comes to hand a decision will be made and issued to the person concerned.

I trust that this helps clarify the position.
