Daughter in full time work

Hi everyone.

Just wondered if anyone could help please.

My daughter's left college and got herself a full time job. :T

I informed tax credits and child benefit.

No calculation back from tax credits as yet, but I know they're busy with renewals etc, and I'm fairly sure I won't be entitled anyway now she's all grown.

I have however had a letter back from child benefit to say that this will stop in August. That sounds wonderful if it's correct, every little helps, but I'm a little worried that it can't be, she is after all not a dependent (hope that's spelt right!) any more.

Thanks for reading, and for any advice given.

    As she has just left college she will still be classed as a student untill she officially leaves, the end of July is usually the official end date, so child benefit stopping in August sounds right
