An Increase for a Qualified Child (IQC) can be paid to a jobseekers allowance recipient when the child is over 18 if that child is in full time education, up to 22 years of age or up to the end of the academic year in which he or she reaches 22. The person concerned is required to provide the Intreo Office with a registration letter from the college confirming the child is attending full time education in order for an application for an increase for a qualified child to be assessed and a decision to issue.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
