Some important changes when you turn 18 - changes to finances and benefits
When you turn 18, your parents' benefits and tax credits may change. They help pay for your needs.
These changes depend on your age, education, and independence. They also depend on your family's situation.
Your benefits will be considered in deciding your support needs. They will also affect how much you may need to contribute to your care and living expenses.
If you need help with your finances, contact Surrey County Council or Society Of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA). They can provide support and information.
You can also find information on the Surrey Local Offer website. It is for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and their parents or carers.
