They would most certainly have received Child Benefit for Harry, given that
they had care of him.

I wonder how they explained his non-arrival at the local comprehensive at
the beginning of his first term at Hogwarts? They would have had to have (I
think) put his name down before sending him and I strongly suspect that the
Surrey Education Authority wouldn't have Hogwarts down on their list of
authorised educational establishments...
