This is one of the most bizarre arguments I've heard. Noone is being forced to do anything here, they're just having support cut off at an earlier date. If you really wanted to know what % of people continued to receive support while their child was between 12-16 I'm sure there's statistics available somewhere.

edit: I'm not even saying this in a pro/anti-benefits sense, it just seems like a really strange way of looking at whats happening.
