Grant income of students: Contributions to a student loan or grant

The amount of any part of a student's own income taken into account when assessing entitlement to a student's loan or grant is disregarded. The disregard applies to the income taken into account when the grant is assessed and not to any contribution included in grant income for WFTC/DPTC purposes.

The disregard should be apportioned equally over the period the contribution is taken into account as grant income. If the contribution is taken into account over more than one period, the disregard should be divided pro-rata between the various periods.
