Child benefit

beaner92

I am a college student have been since 2011, every year my parents get me to get some form stamped by my uni, but i have literally put my self through university, I work part time pay my own fees and rent plus bills. So i am not in their care at all. Bar about once or twice ive been stuck for cash in the last 5 years they havent supported me. It has been hard but forget that.

I am wondering could my parents still be getting benefits from the state. And if so how much?

Its not child benefit anyway. That ends after Secondary school.

Tax relief or something ?

If they are on a social welfare payment, it could be possible that they are receiving payment for you (like not a full payment but an additional sum onto of their weekly payment) while you are in full time education. I think there are some payments which the parent/guardian can get if their child is in full time education until they are 22.

It isn't that clear cut... Could you ask them about it?

I hope my child grows up to be just like you.

Are your parents receiving a payment from DSFA? If so, they are claiming for you as a student in full-time education up to the age of 23.

yes thats the one the one till im 22 which i am now. the reason i dont ask is basically any time i take a dime from them, dad in particular it seems like im drawing blood from a stone. and i owe him. he doesnt work, he is a well abled man with multiple degrees in finance lost his job in ulster bank after the crash. I love him to death, but if they are getting payments to support me, supporting me is what it should be spent on, as im in last semester and dont work as many hours and snowed under with credit card debt...

Sorry for the rant.

If anyone can tell me how much that additional amount is would be great.

Child benefits stop once the child turns 18 regardless of them being in school, college or not. I don't know any payment you can get I'm afraid or her than the grant.

Don't forget they raised you to college age. You probably still owe them a few bob.

LOL at the concept of a student having/needing a credit card.

This irks me to the core, and not at all in line with my views on welfare at all. I also feel it is why i am so driven not to end up that way and also why i quit living at home at 17.

You should send them an invoice. If I were your father I wouldn't rip your head off at all. Much.

Right, you've been at college for five years, and for five years now, your oldies have been gettin you to get "some form stamped", and not once in five bloody years you've either asked about, or shock horror, read the bloody form?

Pull the other one mate, its got a pregnant wombat on it.

Yes it is. No CB once the child turns 18, even if they're still in secondary school.

I would keep out of it if I were you. If they are making a fraudulent claim what are you going to do? Report them? The payment is made to them not you so don't think its any of your business now that you are an adult. It would be like my children expecting me to spend the cb on them when in fact it pays my car loan which we all benefit from through the use of a car.

You sound like an independent young person with good motivation and a strong work ethic, well done. I must admit I don't know many young people these days who do stand on their own too feet and have lived away from home from 17 years old. Many of them think they're supporting themselves but in reality most of them are being subsidized by their parents in some way and don't even realize it.

I doubt if your parents resented rearing you for 17 years so maybe you should leave the resentment towards them behind you and focus on their good points, I'm sure they have some good points.

Yes and you then become an qualified child on your parents claim up until 22nd birthday

You sound like an independent young person and more power to you. Why dont you just ask them? Or have a good read of the form before you sign it. You should really know what the form is if your signing your name to it.
