    Nope.

    There is a bit for 1987-er's who are still in further education though, if your born after 19th April 1987. Only Child Benefit though

    That's me. What's that about then?

    If you are still in further education then you can get your Child Benefit re-instated until your 20th birthday or when you leave further education.

    Just give Child Benefit a ring and let them know that your brother is still in further education - they'll ask about which college and the course and then it'll be reinstated
