child tax credit

thomasc

i have just been on the hmrc website and it said that i will get more money when my 16 year old goes to college is that correct. i know that i still get child tax credits when she is 16 and going to college but didnt think i would get more

I have a child who is 9 and another one who is 17 and the child element is the same for both of them.
