Does anyone know the exact date applications open? Also when using the calculator does universal credit count as income or taxable income.(neither of my parents can work) I’m unsure whether I put the amount they get from universal credit or zero?

Hi Lucie,

When does your course begin? And no - Universal Credits are not taxable benefits so they don't need to be declared. Thanks, Jason

Hi yeah I was just worried about what I’d put as income if the only thing my family earn is universal credit. My course starts in September this year.
