30-year-old Romanian woman, Elena Drutu, was denied child benefit back payments by the High Court due to Irish law restrictions.
30-year-old Romanian-born woman, Elena Drutu, who moved to Ireland as a child, was denied child benefit back payments for her childhood by the High Court. Drutu claimed her family experienced financial difficulties due to the lack of child benefit, causing her to work part-time and negatively impacting her studies. The court ruled that Irish law limits child benefit to the person with whom the child normally resides and is not conferred on the child, dismissing Drutu's claim.
