What Deductions are we looking at?

Hiya.

We currently get Income Support as we are Carers to two of our children. We also get Child benefit. No Tax Credits as we are on a very ancient IS that includes Child Elements.

We get full HB and Council Tax (minus 5%)

Our daughter will be leaving Education this year. She is over 18. Assuming she will get a job of around 30 hours what would be likely to lose?

I know it will be CB, but what else? Something off IS? A deduction from HB and CT? Anything else?

So far it looks like we will be losing at least £100 a week.

No deduction from Income Support.

A non dependent deduction from HB according to their weekly salary.

See here for those:

A non dependent deduction from CT reduction.
See your local council website.

Your daughter should be making a contribution to cover these losses plus money for food and bills.

the OP doesn't receive tax credits and the children are part of the income support claim ( no idea why a few people are still on the old pre tax credit system) so income support WILL be reduced because of that

The applicable amount for that child will be lost- she's now an adult and expected to contribute

Thanks. We do expect her to contribute but £100 a week is a bit much.

That's barely a part-time minimum wage job - why do you see this as exceptional?

Its a it much to expect taxpayers to subside you instead of asking your daughter to pay a fair rent !

I didn't say anything about Tax Payers paying anything, so no idea why you assumed that.

We would lose around £45 from HB, £17 from IS, £15 from CB and some from Council Tax. There was something else as well.

Who do you think pays for Housing benefit, child benefit and council tax benefit? .. I'll give you a hint ..

Your daughter can make up the short fall or either parent can get a job!

The deductions are because as she is no longer a child you are no longer expected to support her. The deduction from HB will be dependant on her income.
