(1)

Where a student is in receipt of income by way of a grant during a period of study and a contribution has been assessed, the amount of his covenant income to be taken into account for that period and any summer vacation immediately following shall be the whole amount of his covenant income less, subject to paragraph (3), the amount of the contribution.

(2)

The weekly amount of the student’s covenant income shall be determined—

by disregarding £5 from the resulting amount.

(3)
