Kathryn Report post Posted April 12, 2011 Hi Paula, Yes you can still claim it when your son is over 18 - as long as other things haven't changed it makes no difference. I received CA until L was over 20 then I had to give it up as I got a job which took me over the earnings limit. That's the position at the moment. As to whether things will change - who knows? As you say, the system is being reviewed so no doubt there'll be changes in the future. Make the most of it before the government find a way to take it off you.
