CSa and college

Evening all.

Quick question, if anyone has any experience it would be a great help.

I pay CSA DD per month.

I'm off to get my hnd at college full time come September, but will be working the same part time hours.

Do i have to contact them?
Will they see my bursary and student loan as income?
Will i pay more/less as I'm a full time student?

Cheers

I can't say for certain, but I'm guessing they will not charge you less because you're a student.

From experience, bursaries/student loans are considered income, but I was only doing a national diploma, I'm not sure about higher! I'd say contact them anyways just to be sure

How can a student loan be considered income? It is a loan.

Thanks!
will be giving them a phone tomorrow, was just playing on my mind and looking for any info ahead of the call, hate dealing with those people.

thanks again.

Thinking this myself

But suppose there is only one way to find out for sure. :mad:

It depends if your payment is a DEO. If so then it could be considered, if no then less likely.

If your payment isn't a DEO than (at least under CS1) you're not obliged to inform them of a change in financial circumstances.
