Client looks after cousin's children Monday to Friday. Cousin has outstanding immigration application and no recourse to public funds. Is client entitled to child tax credits/ child benefit for the children?

A person 'subject to immigration control' has no recourse to public funds. Child benefit and child tax credit are both 'public funds' for this purpose.
