yes they can send child benefit back to poland if the child is still there,google it
True. Everyone who works here and is entitled to child benefit can send that benefit whenever they want. If you work here, and your kids are with your grandparents in their retirement house in Spain, you can send your benefit (after you got it to your bank account) there.
That is soon to be changed from what i heard on the radio

If it’s true, why on Eart I have to confim regularly that, the child is here?? They even check the attendance of him in the school…
I don’t know, it just the guy I used to work with had his kids staying at his parents holiday home in Spain for most of the year (but I think they were pre-school age) had benefit. I don’t know any particulars, most of my Polish friends and clients, when I worked as an interpreter had their kids here with them…
I just know that the rules are the same for all (with some limitations - not provisions) for immigrants. Maybe the reason is that you have your kids at home? I think if you are, for example, divorced, but have kids, you are entitled to child benefits even if they do not live with you, but with their mother… And then she can live next door to you or in Burkina Faso? And that how it works with that people sending benefits abroad?
I would be actually keen to find how it really is, as I smell some bs on both sides of this discussion…

I spent 14 years in the Oil field before driving. In that time I have worked in west Africa, south china seas, Norway, Denmark, holland, and a quick stint in the middle east.
Not one of these countries have the same pee taking regulations of letting tax payers money disappear out of the country to benefit non residents.
B.S. Holland as very similar rules as the UK and enough money disappears out of the country to non-residents! Google Turkey and Child benefits.
