Everyone with kids under 16 or 18 if in full time education. If you don't have kids then no obviously you won't get it.

It helps offset the 40% tax rate..

Not sure why your tax rate should be offset because you have kids and mine not.

All I'm saying is that everyone with children is eligible for child benefit. I make no comment on the fairness of that.
