9.5.4.8 Transitioning to tertiary education

 Education allowance for a student in tertiary education is to be paid to the student directly in accordance with the MRCAETS instrument. There is no requirement for a student to complete a new claim form or provide updated documents once they turn 18 or when they transition to tertiary education. Where a determination has been made that a student is eligible to receive an education allowance, that allowance should continue to be paid as long as the student remains eligible under the scheme.
