Lone Parent/Full time student and IS
Hi all
Had a query from a client yesterday and am wondering if anyone knows the current situation…
Client is a lone parent and a f/t student. She has recently made a claim for JSA during the summer holidays, but in the meantime she asked what I know about a proposed change in the rules to enable lone parents who are also f/t student to claim IS for the duration in their course.
Client believes this was included in a white paper last December and I can find some reference to the proposals in the latest CPAG but no indication of if and when they would become law.
Any advice would be gratefully received - in the meantime I am off to trawl the net.
Many Thanks
Sarah
Thanks a lot for your reply and the information which I will pass on to my client - the election has even more to answer for!!
Cheers
Sarah
