Why wouldn't they get CB? There's no evidence that she is dead or
anything.

But surely, as the name suggest, Child Benefit is indeed that. For
benefit of the child. If the child is not there, then why recieve it?

It seems that it is possible that CB would be stopped because
(a) Maddy has been out of the UK for more than 12 weeks (AFAWK)
(b) has been away for more than 56days in the last 16 weeks
(c) The McCanns themselves have been away for more than 8 weeks
(http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/childbenefit/changes-you.htm)

I wonder how long before she is considered dead and thus payment ceases on
those grounds?

missing person is presumed dead legally after seven years.
