    Hi @julie197878, welcome to the community ☺️ When you say you get help for your daughter, is this through child benefit or something else?

    If she's currently still in education doing A levels or an equivalent course, child benefit will usually continue until the end of her course then stop before she goes to uni. There's some details about that here that I hope will be helpful to you:
