Income support/ student finance

Hi. I'm planning to do a ba in computing technologies in September. Cutting long story short, my girlfriend lives in a housing association house. We get full benefits for housing benefit, council tax benefit and income based jsa.

Obviously because my girlfriend has a toddler, she will have to go back to income support, cos I can't be on jsa while doing full time education.

Does anyone know if the student loans, and grants will affect the housing benefit and council tax benefits in my circumstance?

My job centre worker thinks it will not? Because my girlfriend can still claim

Cheers. Rob.

Your girlfriend won't get income support unless she receives carers allowance.

You're exempt from council tax a full time student. Some of your student loan will be disregarded for benefit purposes. But if you don't take some of the loan, it will be counted anyway.
