    Hi,

    They will just be asking what your daughter intends to do when she leaves school.

    The part about not declaring changes is just a standard thing, it's not specifically saying that you've done anything wrong.

    As long as she is under 19 and still in full time education, you don't need to tell UC about her part time work.

    If she makes her own UC claim in future, then she will need to tell UC about any earnings.

    The compliance interviews can be about anything, but if this one specifically mentioned the Child Element then that is what I'd expect it to be about. 🙂
