I think I found a solution.. try this..
If you are playing on a child account, and if you are under the age of 13, you will not have access to play Battlefront. I finally found a way around this by following the steps on this website:
Log into your (parent) Microsoft account page from a computer.
Set child’s date of birth so that they are 16 years old or older (goodbye childhood!)
Create an EA/Origin account for your child on the Origin site(www.origin.com).
Set child’s date of birth so that they are 16 years old or older.
Download the Origin game client. Once installed, open and logged in, select the “Friends” tab. Link your child’s Xbox Live to Origin (it might tell you that it can’t find friends through Origin, and that’s okay).
Close Origin client.
Take a deep breath.
Turn on Xbox One console. Log into Xbox Live with your child’s account. Start Star Wars Battlefront. At the main menu, if it hasn’t automatically connected this time, press Y to connect.

Unfortunately Microsoft have removed the ability to change the date of birth on an account. They said it's not possible to alter it when I was on web chat with an advisor. Also, I have already linked an origin account (with his actual age) to his Xbox account. I'd already read that 8bitdad article when I was spending hours initially trying to sort this out, but I appreciate you posting it to try and help so thank you.
I think the only solution now is to either use a separate adult account for him which I'm not going to do as it splits up all his gaming achievements or EA need to alter their policy on access to the game accepting the parental permissions set on the Xbox rather than imposing their own rules as well.
Im having same issues,
Would it be possible to delete the EA account thus freeing up the restriction?

I'm not sure, it may be possible to unlink your ea account with the gamertag and create a new one to link with it, it would mean probably creating new email addresses as well though. Players should not have to be trying all of these workarounds though, EA should just use the Xbox parental permissions that have been set. I don't know why they haven't.
