I have been working and living in ROI for 6 years. Last year, I had trip to Asia for work and my baby was born over there. During my maternity leave, I continued work over in Asia. When I was away, salary and tax were paid as usual. I came back to ROI in April this year. Can I have my child benefit from my son was born? Or, I only receive child benefit from the day I brought my son back? (we are all EU citizens). Appreciate for answer.
