Paragraph 6 Calculation of eligible student’s partner’s residual incomeI1

Subject to sub-paragraphs F1(2) and (3), an eligible student’s partner’s F2residual income is determined in accordance with paragraph 5 (other than sub-paragraphs F3(3)(b) and (c), (3A)(b) and (c), (8), (9) and (10) of paragraph 5), references to the parent being construed as references to the eligible student’s partner.

Where the Department determines that the eligible student and the student’s partner are separated for the duration of the relevant year, the partner’s F4residual income is not taken into account in determining the household income.

Where the Department determines that the eligible student and the student’s partner have separated in the course of the relevant year, the partner’s F5residual income is determined by reference to the partner’s residual income under sub-paragraph (1) divided by fifty-two and multiplied by the number of complete weeks in the relevant year for which the Department determines that the eligible student and the student’s partner are not separated.
