Hi,

Does anyone know whether if a client is doing a second degree (so is not entitled to a loan for their fees) if the amount they actually pay for fees can be deducted from their income when assessing their income for housing benefit / or income support. i.e. can the maintenance loan income be reduced by the amount they actually pay out in fees?

Please assume that the client is a full-time student who can claim housing Benefit.

Any help would be appreciated.


Thank you
