Child Benefit For Children That Don't Live With You?

Hi All
I was chatting to a polish girl I know that has not long had a baby (the father is also polish). She told me that her partner has 2 children back in Poland and that he is claiming child benefit for them? I thought you could only claim child benefit if you were a parent resident with the child? Have I got this totally wrong?

Someone who is employed in the UK can claim CB for children for whom they are responsible, even if they live elsewhere.

Ah ok, thanks for the response, it just seemed a bit strange to me that's all. But if it's legitimate then fair enough
