Yes, it's fine to get it paid into your Post Office account. It asks on the back of the form where you want it paid to, just fill in your Post Office account details here.
That should be ok. You just have to tell the benefits office where to send the money.
It is very important that all benefits, including Family Allowance, are paid into an account that is is your name only. This is because it affects your final old age pension. Too many women have had this money paid into a joint family account or their husband's account and then found that they haven't been credited with enough "contributions" to make up a full value state pension.
Call them and ask. The number is 0845 366 7885.
