What is a qualifying young person?
Child benefit can be paid in respect of a qualifying young person aged 19 who is in full time non-advanced education or on an approved training course that begins before their 19th birthday. This means the qualifying young person can continue their education without child benefit stopping. Child personal allowances and premiums in Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support can continue to be paid, providing they are a qualifying young person, until their 20th birthday.
Entitlement ends on the child benefit terminal date, that is, the earlier date of the qualifying young person either:-
- leaving full time non-advanced education
- completing their course of approved training
- reaching their 20th birthday
