# The Assembly Learning Grants and Loans (Higher Education) (Wales) Regulations 2006, Paragraph 10: Split contributions


(1) Where a contribution is payable under paragraph 8 or 9 other than in relation to an independent old system eligible student, the contribution is payable in accordance with the following sub-paragraphs—
(a) for any year in which a statutory award other than an award referred to in sub-paragraph (b) is held by—
(i) more than one child of the eligible student’s parents;
(ii) the eligible student’s parent; or
(iii) the eligible student’s parent’s partner,
the contribution payable in respect of the eligible student is such proportion of any contribution calculated under paragraph 8 or 9 as the National Assembly after consultation with any other authority involved considers just taking into account the application of paragraph 7 of this Schedule to new eligible students and existing students respectively;
(b) subject to the following sub-paragraphs, for any year in which an award payable under these Regulations, the Education (Mandatory Awards) Regulations 2003 or section 63 of the Health Services and Public Health Act 1968 (and no other statutory award) is held by more than one child of the eligible student’s parents, the contribution payable in respect of the eligible student is an amount equal to the contribution calculated under paragraph 8 or 9 divided by the number of children of his or her parents who hold a relevant statutory award;
(c) if, as a result of the apportionment under sub-paragraph (b), any part of the contribution calculated under paragraph 8 or 9 would not be applied in respect of the eligible student’s statutory award, the remainder of the contribution is instead applied—
(i) first in relation to the smallest statutory award (or each such statutory award) to which the contribution may apply; and
(ii) then, in increasing order of size, in relation to each remaining statutory award to which the contribution may apply, until the balance of the contribution can be apportioned equally without any part of it remaining or until there remains no part of any statutory award to which the contribution has not been applied.
(2) In any case where—
(a) the eligible student’s parent whose income is assessed under this Schedule has a partner;
(b) a contribution taking into account the residual income of that parent is payable in relation to more than one eligible student who is the child of either that parent or his or her partner; and
(c) the amount payable in relation to each eligible student is not equal to the amount payable in respect of every other eligible student,
the contribution in respect of each eligible student is calculated under sub-paragraph (3).
(3) Where sub-paragraph (2) applies, the contribution payable in respect of each relevant household is calculated and the apportionment carried out in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph withholding only that part of the contribution apportioned to each eligible student who is not part of the relevant household.
(4) In a case where a contribution taking into account the residual income of the eligible student’s parent is payable in respect of more than one child of that parent or that parent’s partner, if any, and the residual income of any such eligible student is greater than nil, the contribution in relation to each eligible student is calculated in accordance with the following sub-paragraphs—
(a) the contribution in respect of each eligible student is calculated without reference to paragraph 4 but otherwise in accordance with this Schedule and is apportioned between each eligible student in accordance with this paragraph;
(b) there is then applied in addition in respect of each eligible student a further contribution of £1 for every complete £9.50 by which the sum calculated under sub-paragraph (c) exceeds £22,560;
(c) the sum referred to in sub-paragraph (b) is the aggregate of any amounts calculated under paragraphs 4, 5 and 7 (where appropriate) of this Schedule with the deduction of the amount (if any) by which the aggregate of the amounts calculated under paragraphs 5 and 7 exceeds £22,560.
(5) Subject to sub-paragraph (6), there is added to a parent student’s residual income for the purpose of calculating the contribution to his or her statutory award any sum remaining—
(a) where the parent student is the parent of only one eligible student and the contribution payable in respect of that eligible student is greater than the statutory award in respect of that eligible student, the difference between that contribution and that statutory award; or
(b) where a parent student is the parent of more than one eligible student, any sum remaining after the apportionment of the contribution to his or her children under this paragraph.
(6) Where a parent student has a partner within paragraph 1(k) of this Schedule, the sums added to his or her residual income under sub-paragraph (5) of this paragraph are calculated as though the contribution in respect of his or her children had been assessed taking into account the income of the parent’s partner under paragraph 7, whether or not the contribution was actually calculated on that basis.
(7) In this paragraph, “relevant household” (“aelwyd berthnasol”) means all those eligible students in respect of whom a contribution is calculated with reference to the same income under both paragraphs 5 and 7.
