Yes, if there are 3 children on the claim, and the system only pays for two of them, once the oldest is no longer classed as a child (over 16 and no longer in full time education), then they become a non-dependant and the system will pay child element for the other two children.As long as all 3 are correctly declared on the claim, payment for qualifying children should be automatic.You may need to remove the eldest as a child from the claim and then redeclare them as someone else living at the property.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Benefits & tax credits, Heat pumps and Green & Ethical MoneySaving forums.
