Hello

Sorry, i ment to put 17 year old

My friends daughter as left 6 form to take up a Government apprenticeship scheme at a GP practice.

Contacted child benefit money been stopped, contacted Income Support by letter waiting for answer.

Can anyone tell me as she is on a Government apprenticeship scheme and she lives with mum in a council property, what happens about rent and Council Tax

Any information would be great?

Thanks

Child tax credits will also stop

CB and CTC will stop for her daughter. She should check how the change from dependent to non-dependent may impact her housing benefit or council tax by putting her details into the Turn2us online benefit calculator. I expect this will make a token or no difference to her HB/CT.

On what grounds is the mother getting income support? Is she a single parent with a child younger than 7?

Thanks for help
