Your mum should get Child Benefit for all 4 of you. It's Child Tax Credit and Universal Credit that is limited to the first 2 children. She would lose Child Benefit for you if you aren't in education or training under the age of 20.

That's for your mum to ask as she's the one getting the payments.
