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?
Thanks
Sybil Green
