in Universal Credit (UC)

Although I have declared that I have a child on my Universal Credit, I am not receiving that part of payment.

She is currently 17 and is at college.

Does anybody know why I may not be receiving the child element?

    Was this a recent claim where you have received your first statement?

    Sometimes the first statement is incorrect as something might not have been verified in time.

    Also, what type of college course is she doing?
