You have to have contributed before you can it for a child who lives outside the UK according to that. Means-tested benefits don't make you eligible.

For instance you wouldn't qualify if you get Income-based JSA, but would if you get contributions-based JSA.

So you get a benefit that you've paid towards via taxation - what's incorrect about that?
