19 year-old daughter with autism in full-time education - Are there any benefits she can claim?

TracyS · September 2016

Hi. My tax credits have stopped as our daughter is 19 now. She has autism and in full time education so can not work or claim jobseekers allowance, is there anything else she can claim ?

Hi @TracyS,

Is your daughter in receipt of DLA or PIP?

There's some really useful information about full time students and benefit entitlements in the following link https://www.turn2us.org.uk/Benefit-guides/Full-time-students-and-benefits/Who-is-a-full-time-student-for-benefit-purposes

I would be happy to try and work this out with you. There could be potential entitlement to ESA. Have a look at the above link and see if any of the information applies to your daughter. Let me know if you want to talk some more about this.

Best wishes
Debbie
