It is possible that mum has got a 20 week extension - see below
'When approved education or training ends
When your child leaves approved education or training, payments will stop at the end of February, 31 May, 31 August or 30 November (whichever comes first).
Apply for an extension
You could get Child Benefit for 20 weeks (called an ‘extension’) if your child leaves approved education or training and either:
registers with their local careers service, Connexions (or a similar organisation in Northern Ireland, the EU, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein)
signed up to join the armed forces
Apply for the extension online, by phone or post.
To qualify your child must:
be 16 or 17
work less than 24 hours a week
not get certain benefits (for example Income Support)
You must have been entitled to Child Benefit immediately before they left the approved education or training and apply for it within 3 months of them leaving.'0 -
