It's perfectly normal for the payments not to be showing yet because the award notice hasn't yet been done. There could potentially be a gap between payments so be prepared for that. This happened to me for all my 3 children at the same age.

I cannot see any payments beyond August either. I have told tax credits that my son is staying on to do his A-levels and when I checked that my claim had been updated to reflect this, I was told that my award would be recalculated at the beginning of September.

Yes, that's correct. As previously advised, there's likely going to be a gap between payments.

Thanks guys hopefully no gap and I can’t afford to miss a monthly payment

With my daughter I missed 1 week with my daughters amount on it, (just got for my son) but the next week her amount was back. This time with my son it shows payments up to 26 Aug but I have informed them and child benefit. As I know I lost a week with my daughter im expecting the same this time,

Mine says the same. I have updated both child benefit and tax credits so assume it will be looked at in September.
