Parents claiming for you
If you are in relevant education but are not in any of the above groups, you cannot get IS. Your parents may be able to get child benefit and UC (or child tax credit (CTC)) for you (see Chapters 8, 18 and 19).
If you get IS for yourself, the amount of your parents’ benefit may reduce, as:
•any child benefit, UC or CTC they get for you stops;
•any IS or income-based jobseeker’s allowance they get for you stops;
1Reg 14(2) IS Regs; reg 76(2) JSA Regs •any working tax credit they get stops, unless there are other dependent children in the family or they qualify in another way.
