Updating UC with PIP

Hi, my daughter was on DLA (High) and has been awarded PIP (enhanced) from today. I've gone in to my UC account to update but it's taking me through a load of questions including info about school - which is causing an issue because it asks the start date and end date of the course. What end date do I put? She finishing at the main site of a school on 9th July and then from end of August she will be at their post 16 college which is the same school but at a different address. I'm just confused as to what to put. I'm worried that if I say she finishes at the current site on 9th July it will affect child benefit although I have already updated them with the details of the new college. Do I put she finishes on 9th July and then do another change of circumstances after then with the new details? Any help would be great, thankyou.

    Hi @chocolatefrog, sorry you didn't receive a response for this in time. How did everything go with the changes to UC you were reporting? Did you manage to get everything sorted? Hope things have been going well for you and your daughter.

    Thank you @Rosie_Scope I ended up doing it over the phone with UC, I did have a discussion with the agent as they said I would no longer get the disabled element for her when changing from DLA to PIP! I corrected him and thankfully it all worked out in the end.
