Income Assesment: Include Siblings?

Hey,

If you have a brother or sister who live in the same house as you, and are working, is that included in household income?

Thanks.

I'm not entirely sure but I think it does. As they presumme it contributes towards rent/bills etc! I know it definitely asks if there is a dependent siblings living with you but obviously there isn't! I think it might affect it slightly but I wouldn't say too much as at the end it asks for details of your parents' income so I think it is heavily dependent on that, hope I've helped :smile:

I do not think so. As Kimbolina said, in regard to siblings it only asks about dependent ones.

No, because it is very unlikely that they pay anything towards you uni costs. Yes, they pay towards the bills etc but its effectively like having a lodger or someone unrealted in the house.
