Hi, my name is paulia! Universal credit query

paulia · March 26

Hi. My daughter is currently in full time non advanced education. She will be 19 soon and will be starting a supported internship in September. She claims high rate for both components on PIP.

I am an unpaid carer and claim universal credit.

What will happen to my claim as she is obviously on my claim because she is in full time non advanced education please? Thank you.

Apologies, I didn't explain my concerns very well. I'm concerned because as her internship is full time she won't be able to claim benefits

She will leave your claim as a dependent child.

As students and benefits are a complex area, I'd recommend you contact the Disabled Students Helpline run by Disability Rights UK
