Child Maintenance Service at age 18

I have finally received CM from DD's dad after years of him avoiding paying -eventually they deducted him direct from his earnings. DD is now turning 18 and staying in full time education, probably until she is 19, her birthday is November.

The CM review is also due in November, and while I have completed the "is your child staying in full time education" form, that was for under 18 year olds. I am concerned that as her current course of education finishes next year (she is enrolling on a 1 year college course after this before uni) child benefit and therefore CMS will stop next year instead of 2026. It took so long for ex to finally pay that he will stop at the earliest opportunity! I am really hoping this makes sense...

Is there a way to let them know that she is staying on in full time non-advanced education until 19 but that her place of education will change?
