Notes
1. Children
A claim can be made for your child if they are under the age of 16, or if over the age of 16 was receiving full-time instruction at any school.

Receiving full time education at any school doesn’t include receiving higher education within the meaning of the Education (Jersey) Law 1999, for example degrees or courses in preparation for professional examination at a higher level.

You therefore can’t claim this allowance for a child in higher education, but you may be able to get a grant from student finance.

You may still be able to claim additional allowance.

or

If your child is 16 year or over at the start of the year, they must have been in full time instruction at any school or in full time higher education, for example a degree course or equivalent.

If your child is in full time higher education, they must be a dependent student as defined by student finance.
