Is a British woman resident in Cyprus since 2003 entitled to Child Benefit for children who live with her in Cyprus?

The CPAG book is not clear to me (p.689) so any help anyone could give with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Is this someone in a family posted there in the military or someone who has moved there as a permanent resident?

Thanks for your reply. Client is not in Forces nor does she work for the Crown. she does not pay Income Tax or NI to Britain, she is a housewife. Her husband works as a self employed decorator in Cypruss.

Looks like it falls under the Convention on Social Security, which was put into force in the UK with The Social Security (Cyprus) Order 1983
No. 1698 and The Social Security (Cyprus) Order 1994 No. 1646

The bit that gives rights to continue to receive UK benefits while in the UK is Article 4 of the 1983 Order:

Article 4
(1) Subject to the provisions of Articles 15 to 23 of this Convention, a person who would be entitled to receive an old age pension, widow’s benefit, invalidity pension, or any pension, allowance or gratuity payable in respect of an industrial injury or industrial disease under the legislation of one party if he were in the territory of that Party shall be entitled to receive that pension, benefit, allowance or gratuity while he is in the territory of the other Party, or in the Sovereign Base Areas, as if he were in the territory of the former Party.
(2) Where under the legislation of one Party, an increase of any benefit for which specific provision is made in this Convention would be payable for a dependant if he were in the territory of that Party, it shall be payable while he is in the territory of the other Party or in the Sovereign Base Areas.

There's no reference in any of the orders to Child Benefit so my guess is that it's not available. I'm not an expert in this area so I wouldn't rely on my bit of digging around our CD-Rom as being in any way definitive.
