I am hoping someone may point me in the right direction as I have been looking on the internet but can't find any answers.
My stepson is 19, 20 in December. He did a 2 year course at college and then is now mid way through a further diploma course at college. It is a parallel course not any higher in qualification when he finishes than first one was, just in a different subject.
He had 3 years EMA which has now stopped as it is the maximum he could get, has been searching over the last couple of months for a part time job but not found one (another topic completely that he should have been looking for four summers since he left school not the last couple of months!!!!!!!!!)
In December we will stop getting child benefit and tax credits for him (we do have other children so that carries on for them) but my query is...does supporting him financially fall completely on his Dad and I now and when he is 20 or are there any grants/loans etc available to him?? He hopes to get a parttime job, intends to apply to Uni next year but what happens between now and then??
Everything I can find on net relates to Uni and not college as it seems most people do a 2 year course at college not the 4 he has done, so by his age he should it seems either be at Uni or be working and supporting himself/giving us board.
Any advice greatly accepted. Thankyou.
