(1) Subject to sub-paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) of this paragraph and with the exception of sub-paragraphs (8), (9) and (10) of paragraph 5, an eligible student’s partner’s income shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 5, references to the parent being construed as references to the eligible student’s partner.
