No, even if you're claiming help with the rent because there's no non dependant deductions for those that are under 21.

Once they reach 21 there will be a non dependant deduction if you're claiming help with the rent, unless either yourself or your partner are claiming either daily living PIP or DLA mid/high rate care.

thank you for your response dear.
