Reg for benefits

Hi there,
I need some help, I reg my daughter to get her birth certi and they adviced me to go to the post office to pick up a form that will reg her for benefits .. I went to two different Post Offices and none of them had any clue .. can someone help? Did anyone reg their newborns for any benefits (I am thinking about the £10 odd per week or something similar).
I understand that not all are entitled for benefits but I am guessing that there are still some benefits for all children ..
Thanks,

Could be child benefit? The form for that comes in the Bounty pack that you get at the hospital when baby is born.0

This tells you how to claim child benefit.
It can only be backdated 3 months.
