I am about to apply for the back to school allowance but am a bit confused as to whether or not I will be granted it.
I have 2 kids who will be aged 2 and 4 this September. They are within the age range for the allowance but are not in full time education. The 4 yr old is in play school till 12.30 every day but the 2 yr old obviously is too young.
It says that to qualify your dependants must be in full time education but no 2 or 3 year old is going to be in school? Do they grant the allowance for these age ranges because footwear is so expensive for them? (50 quid every few months!?)
Not a very important question, just don't want to feel like an eejit by applying and getting turned down coz my kids aren't in school!
thanks!
