How does the child pension for a child over the age of 18 work?

Child pensions for studying are paid to young people aged 18 to 20 years who study or train and some of these apply: a parent is deceased, a parent is a pensioner, they have not been fathered, the District Commissioner decides that a parent does not need to pay a contribution for studying or the District Commissioner fails to find a parent to pay child support. There is also the possibility of payment of child support for studying, in which case another parent pays child suppoert directly to a young person who is studying, a decision must be applied to the District Commissioner to receive child support for studying.
