Is child maintenance payable for a child that's 19 years of age? Well, the answer is yes, but also no. Let me explain. Child maintenance can be payable up to the age of 20 provided the child is in education. By education, we don't mean university; we mean education up to Level 3, which includes A-levels or their equivalent. If a child is 19 and attending college during an A-level course and child benefit is being paid, then the parent can receive child maintenance for that child.
However, if that same child leaves education at 19 and then decides to go back into education, they won't get child maintenance. This is because once they leave education, child benefit stops. If the child benefit stops and the child reaches 19, it is not possible to make a new application for child benefit because the cutoff date is the 19th birthday. If you have child benefit already before their 19th birthday, then you can get child maintenance until the child turns 20.
For instance, imagine two identical twins both 19 years old and attending college. If one leaves education, gets a job, and then returns to education after their 19th birthday, they will not get child benefit or child maintenance. However, the twin who stayed in education will continue to receive both.
