Gravesham’s decisions
Gravesham’s decisions
Gravesham made the decisions set out above for two reasons. The first was that the original award of housing benefit to the claimant had not taken into account his entitlement to tax credits. The second was that the items of student finance listed at paragraphs 22-24 above were taken into account.
The papers that were before the Tribunal are unclear about the date from which Gravesham took the bursary and the notional student loan into account:
The narrative response to the Tribunal does not state the date from which the student finance decision took effect.
