Working Tax Credit/living with a child full time student over 20

Could anybody help me with the question whether it needs to mention a child full time student 20 years old in a Working Tax Credit application form? I visited HM Revenue website and checked my eligibility. I am eligible for it, but I am living with my 20 years old child a student and there is nothing regards such situation on the website. It says only about a couple.
Thanks everybody in advance for your time!

    Have you looked to see if it asks later on about any children?

    Your 20 year old adult student does not need to be mentioned on your tax credits claim form. Tax credits are applicable to your income.
    *SIGH*
    :D
  • Your child is now an adult, and any Tax Credits would finish at the latest on their 20th birthday.
    So this would not be an applicable child for the application.
