No what is sayd about kids 16 and over is...
If your child is aged 16 to 19 and in full-time education
If your child is aged 16 but under the age of 20, you can still get Child Tax Credit as long as they're in certain types of full-time education.
Usually this will be in a school or college, studying for qualifications like:
- A levels
- Scottish Highers
- NVQ at Level 3
You won't be able to get Child Tax Credit if your child's education is:
- provided by their employer
- provided through any office they hold - for example if your child has an official role such as cout leader or councillor, and the education is provided as part of that role
- an advanced course at higher education level, such as a degree
Full-time' means they're taught or supervised for more than an average of 12 hours a week.
Re Work....
If your child starts work or goes on benefits
Your Child Tax Credit payments will stop straightaway if one of the following applies:
- your child leaves full-time education or approved training, works 24 hours or more a week and gets paid
- your child starts getting benefits or tax credits
But your payments can continue if your child works and stays in full-time education or approved training. For this to happen, the education or training needs to meet the conditions explained in the first two sections above.
So all the time she is in education, up to the age of 20 whatever part time work she does doesn't come into it...if you phone the tax credit poeple to renew it for her as she is still in education all they'll ask id the name of where she is going, if its more than 12 hours. They won;t even ask about any work she might do cos its not relevant.
