ok in answer to that,
1) as we have discussed earlier this is a non means tested benefit
2)the last time i looked the child is not the recipient of the benefit the parent is.
3)if i do "my job"of producing a well balanced, educated, well mannered, and well behaved, constructive member of society is that not me earning that benefit? and if i dont i lose the benefit, i am all up for that!
4) only a side note but only one is of school age, the others have left.
