I would like to pose a question here and see how our members feel on this issue. I would like to limit this to one point at a time as there really are many issues at stake which we realise.
First I dont want to make this an issue of entitlement, we all want to do the best for our children that we can. No debate needed there. I feel where the issue lies is, We feel that a child can be entitled to support after the age of 18 (ie if they are in school) and there needs to be a limit to that is well.
So my first queston is: Do you feel that once a child reaches the age of 18 that they are capable of reporting and proving need of continued support after the age of 18?
One avenue to do so might be that the child would send in to FRO thier school transcript and registration for the next semester (say in June/July). If accepted would grant entitlement until the next school year ends.
This may have to be finessed but, What I would like to see accomplished in a practice like this is to end the he said she said scenarios that currently exist. I feel at that age it is a matter that the child could handle. They are capable of sorting out thier Dr Lic and age of majority etc as needed, why not this. Let me know what you think and as always comment is welcome too.
