How will finance (grants/bursaries/scholarships/loans) affect benefits such as Housing Benefit/Child Tax Credits/Income Support?
When I start University, the number of hours my partner and I work per week will be halved (to 14). We are unmarried, but have 3 children under the age of 16 at home.
We currently receive Housing Benefit/Child Tax Credits/Income Support due to our low earnings. At what earnings threshold will we lose any of these benefits (if at all) and will my partner be forced find other work to supplement the number of hours she works per week?
Thank You
