Estranged teen

[Bebethany]

Advice please.
My 17 year old granddaughter has left her mother. (My daughter) to live in a room with her boyfriend in the boyfriends uncles house. She’s enrolled into a college, what benefits can she get as she gets no financial support from her divorced parents.

She might be able to get the standard allowance element of Universal credit if estranged from parents. www.gov.uk/universal-credit/eligibility

There is a specific 16-19 Bursary that she should be entitled to for vulnerable students. Her college would possibly have to apply on her behalf
