    You will have to check their policy on fee waivers, but in my experience once you have been granted the waiver/ exemption you are covered for the academic year so they will not expect you to pay any extra.
    Gone ... or have I?

    Which college course are you doing? One involving basic literacy and use of the English language - I hope?

    I think that you're supposed to tell them about your change of circumstances but, in my experience, nobody ever does.

    If he's on a low income and you receive a large amount of tax credits you may still be eligible anyway.
