    What particular time period are you talking about, just because of your use of the word “was”. 
    At the moment, it is 16 or 20 if they’re in education or training. Presuming eligibility because of income.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    And note that currently although the child benefit continues, the associated NI credits now cease as soon as the youngest child turns 12
