Hello. I am 16 and get child benefits. I have a job and I am going to 6th form in september. My mum doesnt want me to work more than 24 hours because she thinks I will no longer get child benefits pay. However, I’ve read from the government website that i’ll only stop getting child benefits if i leave school AND work more than 24 hours. Can somebody help me understand this better?

You’ll stop getting Child Benefit if your child:
starts paid work for 24 hours or more a week and is no longer in approved education or training
starts an apprenticeship in England
starts getting certain benefits, such as Employment and Support Allowance or Universal Credit
