child benefit reduction

[jubieanna]

does your child benefit reduce when your child reaches 16? mine seems to have gone down although my son is still in full time education.

[dotty.]

does he get that education allowamce?

[factor-fiction]

Did you receive a form asking you to send off details of whether he'd be staying in full time education. I know you get one at 18 but I can't rememberwhat happens at 16.
Is there an older child?

[jubieanna]

he doesnt get EMA (allowance)

no older child only a younger one

i'll ring them and check it out
many thanks all

you would have had a form to return stating whether he is continuing with full time education. if he is you would still be entitled.. if you returned the form.

I think we returned a form, but they still chopped the tax credit.

I rang the helpline, and it was reinstated easily.
