Having UK benefits paid in another EEA country
If you are getting UK Guardian's Allowance you can usually get it when you, or the child or children you are getting it for, are in any other EEA country.
Benefit from another EEA country
Another EEA country may pay you benefit for a child which has lost either one or both its parents. If so, you can usually carry on getting it in the UK.
