You haven't given enough information for an answer.
If she puts her details into the benefits calculators below she'll get an estimate of what she may be entitled to claim

She will get £87.30 in child benefit each week. The other calculators will identify if she is entitled to things like tax credits, council tax benefit and so on. Is she a lone parent? If not, how much does her partner earn?

Not really much information given to give any proper response.
