Universal credit & student finance
How does student finance effect universal credit?
Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that the course fees paid directly to uni DOESNT have an effect whereas the maintenance loan we can claim DOES effect it.
The grey area is the NHS £5000 leader support fund and the £2000 child element of it - I keep reading different things. People are saying it shouldn’t make a change but others are saying it’s been taken off their UC :/
