Child has left school but CSA insist I still have to pay

June 23, 2012

I have 2 sons one of which left School last July, and I have a letter from the school to prove this. I have written to the CSA, Benifits Fraud office and my local MP and still nothing has been done all the CSA do is tell me that if my EX is claiming beifits for my son then I have to pay. What a rediculous system no wonder this country is such a mess… if anyone can help me as to what to do next that would be great.

Thanks.

    What is your son doing now? Is he at college in full time non advanced education where his mother will still be claiming child benefit?

    My son leaves school July 29th,i have rang the child benefit office so I can continue the CB from September 3rd because he is going to college.My stepdaughter who is 19 this October has also left college ,but cannot claim JSA because her mother is claiming CB till September 3rd.If your son left school last July 2011 ,then he must either be going to college or has signed on with Connections .When I rang the Child Benefit Office they asked me questions about my sons course and then said they were going to check if I could claim for him till Sept 4th 2013.They told me that I would have to reapply next year if he did another year at college. Child benefit can continue till the 1st Monday in Sepetember before the childs 19th birthday.
