Tax credits for young person in further education

silvermist05 · 2013-08-27 12:33:29

Hi Last year we claimed tax credits for our son who was in college taking A-levels. He has now decided this year to study for a diploma in ICT instead. Does anyone know if we are still entitled to tax credits for him? he is still a full time student and if so do I have to inform tax credits that he has changed his course?…

I told tax credits and child benifit that my son was going to study a level 3 diploma but he has just changed his mind and is now doing level 2 at a differant college.
Do I need to bother calling to tell them he is now doing a level 2 course instead of level 3 or is it ok just to leave it as long as he is still in full time further education ?
I'm not sure if they check he is on the exact course we originally informed them about.
