As an apprentice, she won't be liable for council tax (so you will still have the 25% single adult rebate when she turns 18) and they don't take a deduction for Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit.

If she starts a work based apprenticeship, the only benefits you will see reduced are child benefit and child tax credits.

But then she can pay you 'keep' if she is earning.

If she starts work, the deduction they make depends on how much she earns - the rates will be on your local council website.

If she is working, you will lose the 25% single rebate for council tax once she is 18.

If she goes to college, she should receive EMA and you would still receive CTC and CHB for her and your HB and CTB would be unaffected.

Just what I was trying to say but much better than I could put it:beer:
