The decision of the Upper Tribunal is to DISMISS the appeal
The decision of the Upper Tribunal is to DISMISS the appeal.
The decision of the First-tier Tribunal, taken on 22 March 2022 under case reference SC/188/22/00193, did not involve an error on a point of law. Under section 11 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, the Upper Tribunal dismisses this appeal.
REASONS FOR DECISION
Introduction
Arrangements for financial assistance for students, including availability of grants, are different in England and Wales. The universal credit legislation, however, is the same for England and Wales. This appeal is about how these two regimes connect, in particular whether a Welsh student whose maximum student loan is reduced on account of a grant should nevertheless be treated as having an un-reduced loan for the purposes of the Universal Credit income assessment.
