Hi all, I'm trying to help a friend find more information after her appeal failed.
European citizen living in Ireland since 2004. Her daughter resides with her mother back home but is supported by her mother who works here.
Now, the case. Applied for child benefit back in 2005 but got a verbal "no, this cannot be done as your child is not resident in Ireland". Since then she found this to be untrue and applied successfully in 2009. After been advised to appeal the case, the appeal has failed as she could not proof that a verbal "no" was said in 2005. She tried to voice the fact that if it was possible to get child benefit, why would she wait 4 years to do so but the appeal was not allowed. Has anyone knowledge in this area that may be able to help, according to the leaflets, the hugh court is the only option to proceed.
Thanks..
