Child Benefit
Background
Child Benefit (CB) is normally paid for children up to the age of 16. If a child, over 16, is in full-time education (ie up to A Level or NVQ level 3 standard) at a recognised educational establishment, benefit may be paid for them until they reach 19.
CB can also be paid for a short period for 16 or 17 year olds who have just left school and are registered for work or work based training for young people.
