Hi, id like some advice regarding my severe disability premium that's included in my ir esa award. My 16yr old daughter isn't coping at school due to her mental health and i doubt she'll be well enough to start college in Sept. I understand her child benefit and tax credits will stop on 31st August if she doesn't go to college. Annoyingly im also being manage migrated to universal credit around this time. Please can anyone advise if i will lose my entitlement to the severe disability premium if my 16yr old leaves education. She won't be claiming benefits or working. Thankyou in advance

Hi Tracy7

As your daughter is under 18 then the answer to your question is no.

Has your daughter applied for DLA/PIP in her own name, you may want to seek advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk
