When the youngest child in a one-parent family reaches the age of 14 years, the payments for older children stop at the age of 17 years. Once one-parent families transfer to the transitional jobseeker's allowance, they will receive payments for children aged between 18 and 22 years in full-time education and, therefore, it will be an advantage to them.
