I'm not sure it works like that CB used to when your eldest lost CB the next one got the higher rate.0

I'm sure you can claim for child number 4 once 2 of the other kids are off the claim.Be Alert..........Britain needs lerts.0

Yes this is correct.0 -
So if you have more than 3 kids and when the eldest is 16 you lose ctc for them? But you will start getting it for the younger one?Nothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future0

It depends if the child is still in full time education, if so then it can be paid up until the 20th birthday. See here.So if you have more than 3 kids and when the eldest is 16 you lose ctc for them? But you will start getting it for the younger one?
