    Have they left college? I think you should cancel child benefit as soon as they leave college.
    Yes they have
    It should have been cancelled when they left education. 
    When doing the UC application it asks about other people living in the house. Does this have to be provided as there going to be no housing costs as living with parents?
    You do not need to provide information about them, they are not part of his claim.

    You need to make sure you put the name and details of the claimant, not the appointees details. Once you have access to the journal you can then put a message on that to tell them they have an appointee. If the appointee is responsible for their other benefits they should already know this anyway. 
    Under which section do i put im the appointee?
