    If your child starts work or goes on benefits

    Your tax credits payments will stop straightaway if one of the following applies:
    • your child leaves full-time education or approved training, works 24 hours or more a week and gets paid
    • your child goes on benefits or starts getting tax credits
    But your payments can continue if your child works and both of the following apply:
    • your child stays in full-time education or training – as long as it qualifies for tax credits
    • your child must have applied, been accepted for or started their course before the age of 19
