    You stil lget child benefit and tax credits up to age 20 if in full time further education (not higher) - CB and TC should have written to you.
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.

    You're fine - you can carry on getting child tax credit as well.
