wftc - ill child

Hi
Does anyone know what happens to working families tax credit when a child has to delay college for a year because of ill health?
My daughter may have to delay finishing her A2s until June as she has an illness which is undiagnosed, she has been having tests since December, the only suggestion so far is ME/CFS and extremely low vit D levels which is now being treated. She hasn't left college yet, but is considering it.
She won't be able to work and won't be able to claim benefits as far as I know because she is undiagnosed. She will still be doing some education as she is going to do resits as she didn't do as well in her AS exams as she had hoped, although she did extremely well under the circumstances. She will not be attending college.
Will my wftc be cut to reflect the fact she will not be in full time education?
Thank you in advance.
