JA and Student Grant

lilsparkle69 · 2012-09-21 16:17:09

Hey!! Does anyone know if my boyfriend's Student Grant will affect my Jobseeker Allowance? I am currently in the process of getting JA and was asked to provide details of his grant. Just wondering is it worth it. :confused: Thanks :)

As Jsa is means tested some of the grant may count as means.

Additional items that do not count as means for Jobseeker's Allowance, PRETA, Disability Allowance and Farm Assist.
The maintenance portion of a Local Authority Higher Education Grant
