Hi there
My daughter is 17 and has just started full time college after leaving school. She is disabled and gets the disability extra with our Child Tax Credits, she also gets Child Benefit because she is in education.
Whether or not it is relevant to this question we have other children, 14 years and twin girls of 11 years old. I don't work as I am terminally ill and my wife looks after me and the children, so is my carer and therefore doesn't go out to work.
For one reason or another she was asked to leave college and stop doing the full time course she was doing (Child Care). She stopped this and has gone back into college but this time it is only part time, (until she can show she can handle full time).
Now, with her in the eyes of the college only being educated part time will this have an effect on our tax credits for her and child benefit too? Also do we need to inform them at all?
Thank you and I hope someone can help me with this querie.
Regards
Jason
