A question about : Student son working ?

Hi
My son is in full time college education & is 18 years old.
He would like to get a P/T job to start saving for his future.
Will this impact our family's tax credits, housing benefit, council tax benefit etc
Basically what we want to know is do his earnings count towards the family pot or are they considered as separate ?
Thanks in advance

  • Hi
    Thanks for the reply
    Not wanting to be rude but it isn't that helpful
    There must be some simple rules that say -
    a child/student of 18 is not part of the household income working p/time
    Or they are ?
    Regards
  • OK Thanks for your reply
