Working tax credit when child leaves college

My husband gets working tax credit because he is on PIP (standard rate living and standard mobility).
He works full time.
I don't have paid employment. 
I care for my mum. 
If our child leaves college in July, the Child tax credits will end..
Will we also lose the Working tax credit disability element ?

    No.       
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Child tax credits ending have never had any affect on WTC.
