I have returned to live in Ireland with my teenage son who was born abroad. I am a single parent - his father is dead. I have applied for a PPS number for him and was wondering if I am entitled to claim children's allowances for him?
Thank you
 
Yes, you are if he is under 16 (or 18 if he's at school) and you are resident in Ireland now. See here
