Leaving college

peters77

My daughter is 18 on her final year of college finishing her last exam in June this year.

when do I notify UC / Child benefit ?

Kimi87

You need to notify them when her course ends.

peters77

is that for Uc only or child benefit?

Kimi87

Both of them. Any child related payments or benefits will stop when she leaves education, as she stops being a dependant child and changes to a non dependant adult.

I thought child benefit was paid till end of august for some reason.

Do I notify them on the last day exactly or do you do it before hand ?

Kimi87

Chikd benefit isn't an area I have much experience in, you are correct.

UC don't deal with future changes so it needs to be reported once she's left. CB I've no idea.

When approved education or training ends

When your child leaves approved education or training, payments will stop at the end of February, 31 May, 31 August or 30 November (whichever comes first).
