If your child is over 16 and doing an apprenticeship, you will no longer receive child benefit for that child. This is because the law states that you can only continue to receive child benefit for a child over 16 if they are in full-time education or unpaid training. These include:
- A levels
- T levels
- Scottish Highers
- NVQs and other vocational qualifications up to level 3
- Home education
- traineeships in England
- Foundation Apprenticeships or Traineeships in Wales
- Employability Fund programmes in Scotland
