    Child Benefit can actually continue up to the point the 'child' turns 20 now.

    This age that is still classed as being a 'child' always makes me smile. At 20 my husband had been working fulltime for 3 years and done his 2 years National Service.

    Well, I was being a bit facetious, after 16 they become a 'qualifying young person' rather than a child.

    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)
