UC-Child in fulltime employment

Hello, I'm just looking for some information in regards to my Universal credit claim.
I have 3 children and get UC for 2 of them, My eldest has left college and is now in full time employment, I have let them know via the portal.
My question is will I now get paid for my youngest (2018 born) or does it not work like that?

Yes, if the eldest is no longer on your claim you can add the third as they will then only be the second IYSWIM.

Thanks for your help, Does this happen automatically or will I need to ask them to add them on?

You need to let them know.

So I have made the change and said my son is no longer in full time education. I have a message in my journal that says ' we will write in your journal once we have verified your children'.....what does this mean?

I suspect it's a standard paragraph that's been misplaced.
