He's going into sixth form, will still be living at home etc etc. Do I need to contact Child Benefit office and HMRC Tax Credits to tell them? Does anyone know if the amount of Child Tax Credit that I will receive while he's in full time education will change?
Also, what happens for the first year of Uni? I've read that child benefits continue to the age of 19 but I thought that was only for students with special needs. A friend of mine said had to pay extra council tax every time her 19 year old was home from Uni even though it was just in vacations and he was doing a full time course. I thought students were exempt?
