Definition of time education for dental treatment?

UKSBD

I know that Tax Credits and Child Benefits stop for 18 year olds in advanced education but are 18 year olds in full time advanced education (Foundation Degree) still entitled to free dental treatment until they are 19?

Until they are 19 if in education. Doesn’t specify level.

It doesn't define it either
What is their definition of *qualifying full-time education* ?

Surely this is if you still recieve child benefit for them. As it's full time advanced you won't, so they won't qualify for free dental treatment?

That's the opposite of what others say


I keep reading different information in different places.


Does anyone know if there is a definitive answer on a Gov website anywhere?


Edit to add: Clearest information I have found so far is here - http://psnc.org.uk/dispensing-supply/receiving-a-prescription/patient-charges/exemptions/ still not a definitive answer but I think it's the best I am boing to find.

According to the link above it doesn't matter whether it is advanced or not when they are under 19

Not according to this link here. If the person is not a dependant then they don't qualify for free dental treatment. Same as free prescriptions (unless they live in Wales for this)

Ok i just found it in the link i posted. IF the treatment starts before their 18th birthday it comes under the NHS. If it's after then it doesn't. Scroll down to part 16 of that link.
