UC child Element study from Home
Options
Hi, could anyone answer this for someone else please?
" Hi I have a 17-year-old who is in college and is diagnosed with social communication disorder. Her anxiety is through the roof and she is struggling to go to college. Does it still count as a student if she does an online course from home?  what does class as education for the purposes of universal credit?
Thanks in advance."
(Would the parent receive child element) Many thanks x
