This annual handbook explains how Scottish student grants and loans are treated under the benefit and tax credit system. This is the only book to draw together all the information concerning Scotland in one comprehensive guide for advisers. The contents include:

• benefit and tax credit rights for full-time and part-time students;
• how Scottish grants and loans affect benefit;
• how much income support and housing benefit is paid in term time and vacations;
• studying and claiming jobseeker's allowance, or benefits for ill-health and disability;
• benefits and tax credits for students with children;
• lone parents' rights to benefits and tax credits.

The Handbook, which is cross-referenced to the law, contains step-by-step guides to benefit entitlement and a quick guide to grants and loans for further and higher education students in Scotland. It is a time-saving and valuable reference source for advice workers, money advisers, bursary officers, student services officers and student unions.
