I am a disabled father with two children receiving a payment, now that one child will be ending his payment because of his age, will the payment to the other younger child increase.
Potential for increase in payment to minor - "family maximum"
You will want to contact Social Security directly for confirmation. However, with only two children, I don't believe you ever hit the "family maximum" and therefore won't see an increase in benefit to the remaining child.
The effect is similar for children as survivors and children of disabled parents :
