in Universal Credit (UC)

My son in Sept 2025 started Btec Level 2 Business Studies and repeated Science GCSE in college. His last exam is 15th June 2026. The same college has given him conditional offer to study A levels in Sept 2026.

Today i received a message in journal telling me that his element will end in june as the Btec was 1 year course if its wrong put down the new course end date. I have replied and put change of circumstance and added two more years for course completion.

Will UC child element not be paid for next 3 months since new course starts in sept 2026?

Very confused.

    They asked when did change happen and i put todays date, i also put down start date as 8th sept 2026 and finishes on june 20th 2028.

    So payments shouldnt stop? Current course ends 15th june 2026.
