At what age will a child’s pension cease?
A. The rules on the continuation of a child’s pension differ slightly depending on whether the member was in receipt of a pension before 6 April 2006 or not. If the member was receiving a pension prior to 6 April 2006, the child’s pension will continue until the age of 17 or the child ceases full time education. If the member’s pension came into payment after 5 April 2006, the child will continue to receive a pension until age 17 unless they continue in full time education up to a maximum age of 23. In all cases if the child marries, takes up employment or dies, the pension will cease.
