    wife and i have just started claiming childrens allowance after moving south from the grey north.

    17 year old daughter is part of the claim but says on one of the letters that childrens allowance stops at 18

    is there anything to replace this as she will be in education for at least another year??

    Budget 2009 made changes to the age criteria for Child Benefit. From January 2010, children aged 18 will no longer get Child Benefit.

    In 2010, you will get a compensatory payment of €15 per week if your child aged 18 is getting Disability Allowance or if you are getting:

    A social welfare payment and getting an increase in your payment for the child aged 18
    A Family Income Supplement payment which includes the child aged 18.
    You do not apply for this compensatory payment, it is paid automatically on the 3rd Monday of each month.
