My son is 17 years old and at college and gets £30 a week EMA money as long as He attends all sessions. I claim child benefit and child tax credits.
I am disabled on disability benefits, also receive income support. I like to keep on the right side of the law, hence this is why I am asking this question.
Out of the benefits for him, I provide for all his needs etc, clothing food, tools for college etc
He wants to take on a part time job to help with his car insurance and tax etc as it is going to cost him quite a bit. I feel terrible that I cannot pay for all his insurance etc as the insurance itself is at least £1,000.
What worries me is, if he takes a part time job will his child benefit and or tax credits be removed or reduced. If he can work part time while at college, are there any restrictions on hours and or pay that he can do / receive while he is a student attending college.
Also as I am on income support I worry it will affect my money as well.
