Can anyone help please. Is this taken into account in HB calculations?

funnily enough this came up once before in this discussion thread so you could just scroll down to find your answer.

I believe the answer we finally decided on is that it is taken into account as grant income, but is subject to special rules and disregards. For example, a fixed sum may be disregarded for books and equipment, as well as travell expenses.

My figures are a bit out of date but I think it comes to about £650
