If you are under 18, are you entitled to take the grant you recieve or is a parent/guardian entitled to have control over it?

I think once you're 17, you get it.

Thank you. I assume that means that the grant belongs to me then?

Has anybody else experienced problems with parents/guardians and grants? I want the grant to be given directly to me as opposed to being given to a parent, but I'm not sure if I'm legally entitled to that.

Yes that should be fine. It is either put into your bank account or sent by cheque in your name
