I have already checked that and he is on a relevant course,i spoke to CB and they said the course(not a degree!)he is doing still qualifies for CB.thanks anyway.

strange if he is at "uni" and has a student loan ? then I think IMO the advise from the CB could have been wrong

I cant think of any course done at uni which is not higher level even foundation courses are of a level above the threshold for CB to be paid ...... I would seek advice from an adviser ....... is it one of the newer unis that was an FE place before ???

I think that if someone seeks help here and outlines their position, we should normally take what they say at face value.

agree but the postion outlined with the use of the word uni is confusing me? and worries me as the advice given by child benefit might be wrong and if it is wrong is not the first time is it ?

he does not have a student loan and is just 18.i have been through all the legalities.if you check CB website it shows what qualifies and what doesn't.his course qualifies until he is up to the age of 20.would be a different matter if he was doing a degree but he is not.maybe others should check with CB directly,they are all very approachable and helpful if given the correct information,which they had from me.people should not be afraid to talk to DWP they will assist when possible.thanks for your interest though.

thanks.i have never used a forum before and was hoping to get some help.not to worry thankyou for your time though.
