16 year old DD....how to claim Youth Allowance??

[RainbowBrite]

My DD has just put in an online claim for it as she turn 16 last Saturday.
The CRN she has with me did not work so she had to register online and it gave her her own CRN number.
She has put the claim in and we and I have to give them a call tomorrow as they need parents income for the means testing.
As she still is your dependent (at home and full time school) the money will be payed into your account.

RainbowBrite, my brother gets his paid into his account and he's a fulltime student at home with Mum?

Oh ok...that is what it said as she was doing the application and the lady at centrelinck told us

I thought that is what happened too, but Mum was telling me how he got a nice surprise in his bank account because they had backpayed him.

I think it depends on the age? Ours all went into mum's account til we moved out of home.
