There is a difference between Universal Credit and Child Benefit:
Child Benefit
is money paid to parents or other people who are responsible for bringing up a child? You can apply for Child Benefit for children under 16, and sometimes for older children (aged 16-20) if they are in approved full-time education.
You can download a Child Benefit form from this website:
