Is that literally what they told you? Doesn't make sense to me since CB is unrelated to tax or PRSI.I was told that my claim had to be sent to the UK for my tax code and some more information

I was told that my claim had to be sent to the UK for my tax code and some more information and that they have done their bit, its up to them in the uk now and could take 9-12 months!!
I am not sure why they need my tax code as I thought we were all entitled to child benefit until the child was 16/18yrs old?
I return to Ireland after many years in the UK and sent off all my forms for the child benefit end April, I got my childs birth cert etc back last month and called them last week to see if everything was ok as it had been 3+ months.

I am not claiming any benefits as I got a job before I came back.
Anyway hear of this? I know it will be back dated but 9-12 months is a long time!?
If they were looking for a "tax code" (could this be your National Insurance number?), why could you not quote it to them? The only reason they would be checking with the UK is as above.....what period you claimed CB in UK. I would ring them again if you don't understand what's going on and tell tham that...they might be able to explain it properly to you.
