I am starting my nursing in Feb 2016 and have a few q's regarding student finance.
Is the dependants/parent learning allowance the same thing as the NHS childcare allowance that pays for up to 85% of your nursery fee's while you study? Or is this a different application entirely?
How do we get an idea on what tax credits etc we are entitled to? As the online calculator doesn't have an option for being a full time student (meaning I am not unemployed and requiring childcare, I will be in full time education)- we will be living off just DH's income.
Also are there some working tax credits/child tax credits that affect your student finance?
According to the online calculators from the NHS I will be entitled to £6000 in total for my first year, no dependants allowance and no parents learning allowance and no mention of support with childcare costs. That's £500 a month!!
Am wondering wether it's actually do-able financially and don't want to end up leaving because we can afford it.
