Child leaving college will we lose UC as I'm on ESA support group aswell

Hi @nickh. Are they going into any approved training instead? The rules state:

You will continue to get payments for a young person aged 16 to 19 in your household if they are either:  

• in full time non-advanced education like GCSEs, A levels, T levels, Scottish Highers, SVQs or NVQs up to level 3  
• doing an approved training course that is unpaid and not part of a job contract   

So if they are not moving in to approved training, you would lose the child element of your UC unfortunately. You would need to do a change of circumstances.

If you're concerned about money, you could try a Benefits calculator to see if you're claiming everything you're entitled to. I'm sorry it's not better news.
