Hello, Hoping someone can help. I have a 18 year old daughter at College Full time. Should be staying there till July 2024. However she hates it and wants to leave. I get child element off UC and a top up as im on low wages and single mum. My question is how soon will my money stop if she stops within the next couple wks.

I have been trying to look at info but bit conflicting it says I will loose everything which is a bit confusing as theres another element there which i thought I was getting because of low earnings.

Also will my monthly Family allowance stop if shes not in full time education.

    Family allowance? This no longer exists and I’m certain you mean child benefit. Yes, you will also need to report the changes to HMRC and this will also stop.
