Can my 17y/o working effect my benefits?

My 17 year old works, she's recently up to 24 ish hours a week. Making 5 an hour. Problem is, originally she was getting tips once a month in cash, but now they're adding it to her payslip once a month. Usually her tips are about 70. If she gets enough, is it going to affect my benefits? I claim child benefit and tax credits.
Thanks in advance

Your entitlement to Child Benefit ends if they work 24 hours/week unless they are still in education or approved training. The earnings are not relevant.

Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0 -
So, because she's still in college it won't effect it, even when she's around 24+ hours? She'll be back down to around 18 hours in September so should be okay then0

The same rule also applies to Child Tax Credit too.
