19yo finishes college course 21.12.09.
CHB paid to parents until 28.2.10, the next terminal date, correctly I think.
JSA refuse his claim on basis he is still treated as in relevant education until 28.2.10, correctly I think.
However parents' CTC stopped immediately w.e.f 21.12.09.
This appears to arise because there is a mismatch between CHB and CTC Regs, CHB allowing an extension to the relevant terminal date, CTC not.
Presumably this occurs fairly regularly. Has anyone found a solution to this? If not, is anyone making representations about it? Causes real problems to low income families when the child stays on in full time education.
