Summary
The Home Office described the announced approach to children under 18 and young adults retaining child-dependant status, including settlement with both settled parents, the sole-responsibility exception and exemptions from specified requirements. The answer addresses an earnings exemption for eligible 18-to-24-year-olds retaining child-dependant status, as well as children with seven years or most of their life in the UK. Implementation remains for the Rules and guidance.
