The text makes it sound as if you cancel all benefits right away, but still pay for the full year.
But even now, there’s the benefit of producing less suffering. No need to breed animals that can’t even support their own weight and spend their entire short lives suffering in darkness, crowded in cages with other suffering beings, awaiting death.
The TLDR is that in the UK, age limits are quite case-by-case, and tend to range from 16 to 21, although in more niche cases can range from 11 (the age you can open a bank account) to 30 (the age of suffrage for women in the 1918 Representation of the people act).

Anyway, interesting that we all smell slightly differently! So indeed qualia is a bigger issue than we may have thought.
