We have a number of TEC funded students - usually one year vocational Masters courses.. The deal is that half the tuition fee is paid (the expectation is that the balance is funded by a CDL), the student gets JSA plus a £10 per week training allowance and Housing Benefit. TEC funded students residing in University owned accommodation have still qualified for HB in the past as they have been regarded as employment trainees rather than students. Our local Council has now refused a student HB on the grounds that he is living in University owned accommodation. Can someone please point us in the way of the regulation that says the Council is wrong?
