You must also tell the Tax Credit Office if your child:

turns 18 and stays in approved education or training

turns 19 and stays in approved education or training

Tell the Tax Credit Office as soon as possible to make sure you get paid the right amount of tax credit.

Tax Credit are renewed every year so of course they know hes in full time education,

think you still need inform them? even though I informed them I was now getting a pension and it would affect my tax credits they still carried on paying me and I ended up with a massive over-payment bill :/, paid it back in instalments but yesterday they informed me I still owe them over £300 which I have queried, sorry if info did not help you

yes every year i have to phone them up to renew the credits, and they want to know if hes working, at college ect, i need to know if they stop at 20 years old.

Ask them!

Yes, it is true. You can continue to receive Child Tax Credits for a young person who is in full time non-advanced education until the day before that young person's 20th birthday. After that, payments will stop.
