13.4.4.2 Transitioning to tertiary education
See paragraph 3.5 of the Instruments
Education allowance for a student in tertiary education is to be paid to the student directly in accordance with subparagraphs 3.3.4 and 3.5.2 of the Instruments. 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 Part 3 of the Instruments (see Section 13.2 Eligibility).
