# The Education (Student Support) Regulations 2011, Paragraph 3: Household income


(1) The amount of an eligible part-time student’s household income is—
(a) in the case of an eligible part-time student who is not an independent eligible part-time student, the residual income of the eligible part-time student aggregated with the residual income of the eligible part-time student’s parents (subject to paragraph 5(9)) and the residual income of the partner of the student’s parent (provided that the Secretary of State has selected that parent under paragraph 5(9));
(b) in the case of an independent eligible part-time student who has a partner, the residual income of the eligible part-time student aggregated with the residual income of the eligible part-time student’s partner (subject to sub-paragraph (3); or
(c) in the case of an independent eligible part-time student who does not have a partner, the residual income of the eligible part-time student.
(2) In determining the household income under sub-paragraph (1), there is deducted the sum of £1,130—
(a) for each child wholly or mainly financially dependent on the eligible part-time student or the eligible part-time student’s partner; or
(b) for each child other than the eligible part-time student wholly or mainly financially dependent on the eligible part-time student’s parent or the eligible part-time student’s parent’s partner whose residual income is being taken into account.
(3) For the purpose of calculating the contribution payable in respect of a parent student, the residual income of the parent student’s partner must not be aggregated under paragraph (b) of sub-paragraph (1) in the case of a parent student whose child or whose partner’s child holds an award in respect of which the household income is calculated with reference to the residual income of the parent student or of the parent student’s partner or of both.
