Benefits
If you're in full-time education and training, your parents/carers will normally get child and other benefits until you're 19. Under 18s don't normally get any benefits except in exceptional circumstances.
Exceptional circumstances
You may get financial help if there are exceptional circumstances - if you have caring responsibilities or can't live at home for example. Speak to your Connexions personal adviser if you're worried about money.
Additional needs
You may get extra support if you have additional needs. If you have money worries:
- speak to your Connexions personal adviser
- contact Connexions Direct on 080 800 13 2 19 or look at the money pages
on the website - contact DIAL UK, the network of disability advice lines through its website or on 01302 310 123.
