It's grossly unfair to suggest that anyone who wonders how she is going to do this is spiteful or uncaring. She has no job, no obvious qualificatio

THECORBYLOON, I can’t say I know much about benefits, but having had a quick look at the Habitual Residency Test, I don’t think I do trust you on this, not least because it appears to apply to means tested benefits – not a category that, as far as I’m aware, includes
Child Benefit.

Child Benefit.

"The right to reside part of the test also applies to Child Tax Credits and Child Benefit, but you don't have to show you are habitually resident to claim these benefits. Instead you have to show that you are 'ordinarily resident'. If you have come to the UK since 1 July 2014 and you are not a worker or self-employed, for example, you are a jobseeker, you need to live in the UK for at least three months before you can claim Child Tax Credits or Child Benefit. However, this rule will not apply to you if you were previously ordinarily resident in the UK and have returned to the UK after an absence of less than one year."
“Should none of us have our own babies because they'll need schooling and medical care, too?”
She’s not having her own babies, cloverjo. She’s planning to bring four foreign children here for no good reason so your question is irrelevant. But I’ll answer it anyway: it would be a good idea if a few more people considered their ability to support their children before they began having them. It’s not necessary to have children any more than it is necessary to own a Rolls Royce.
“Corby don’t blind them with facts”
Indeed not. So let’s have a look at some of the advice from the Government website on Child Benefit:
-----
Adoptions and fostering:
Apply for Child Benefit as soon as any child you’re adopting comes to live with you - you don’t have to wait until the adoption process is complete.
The nationality of the child doesn’t affect whether you’re entitled to Child Benefit or not.
Looking after someone else’s child:
You may be able to get Child Benefit if you’ve got an informal arrangement to look after a friend or relative’s child.
If you’ve moved to the UK:
You may be able to get Child Benefit if your main home is in the UK and you have permission to live in the UK.
-----
“Child benefit is now a means tested benefit - you get reduced amounts depending on what you earn!”
Not in the traditional sense, it isn’t. There are no "reduced amounts". It is only reduced (to zero) if one parent earns more than £50k.
Amongst all these “ifs, buts and maybes” I would wager that this young lady may well qualify for her sixty quid a week. And that, of course, is only Child Benefit. The real money begins when Housing is needed. Once her aunt, uncle and 22 year old cousin (all of whom "cannot wait" for the children to arrive) get fed up with having five more people sharing their gaff, there may be a need for the taxpayer to step in.

THECORBYLOON, so she MAY have to wait three months before claiming – or she MAY not. Okay. With four adopted African children in tow I'd be willing to bet she won't have too many problems claiming .... but I might be wrong.
Islay, //Child benefit is now a means tested benefit - you get reduced amounts depending on what you earn! //
Oh is that how it works? I thought Child Benefits came in set amounts with those on fairly high salaries having the choice to either pay tax on them or opt out altogether. Has that changed? I know several people who have opted out. Incidentally, those exclamation marks you’re so fond of tacking onto the end of your posts make you appear permanently angry.

NJ, I'm not old enough to be entitled to State Retirement Pension an I have no wee ones but it doesn't stop me from claiming a State Pension or Child Benefit.
As you can see from your post
"If you’ve moved to the UK:
You may be able to get Child Benefit if your main home is in the UK and you have permission to live in the UK."
The important words there are "may be able to get child benefit" the fact she is British gives no automatic entleent to that it.
NAOMI, I said it was unlikely she would get Child Benefit immediately.
This link gives details of Child Benefit conditions for folk coming from abroad.

The Hab Res Test also applies to Housing Benefit claims.
