Not 100% true, Dads can (and do) get Child Benefit. And in some cases
its a good idea. Its meant to go to the "Full Time Carer" so if your a
stay at home dad,  claiming the Child Benefit will get your National
Insurance Payed. If both parents work it does not make a lot of
difference. You can switch it if you want just give the Child Benefit
people a call.
