    I was merely seeking clarification on conflicting information gathered via Co-pilot -

    Sadly that is the issue. AI just scrapes the internet for information. There is no checking of what is correct or not.🤷‍♀️

    I think the confusion came because you said you read it on an NHS website. If you'd said it was from AI, people would have immediately been able to identify what had gone wrong.

  • when my SEN son turned 19 and was still in college I applied for a HC1 for him. At that point he wasn’t on any benifits of his own.

    There are other ways of getting support with health costs if you are on a low income and there is information on the NHS website.

    If you receive UC child element for a child who is in full time education (non higher education) then their NHS charges are as free as yours up to the age of 20. You just tick the 'UC' box.

    But with the child in SEN education there might be other options available for free or discounted NHS treatment.
