Family Tax Credits/Working Tax Credits

My son is in 6th year and will leave school this summer. He hopes to go on to University. Will my credits stop, even if he's still in full time eduation? Thanks.

    Your CTC will stop. Your WTC eligibility will depend on your income. I cannot recall on which date they stop - someone else will know this.
    Gone ... or have I?

    University is classed as advanced education therefore child tax credit will stop on 31st August. You may still get wtc but it will depend on how many hours you work and on your income.
