    its not essential, its just highly reccomended. other than the standard very small student loan for this year that is all i would get, its a computing course not a nursing or teaching degree

    thanks, yea its changed slightly since before, i know i dont have to pay council tax but because im earning the salary and tax credits will it do anything to my mums housing allowance for her mortgaged house (everyone else?). I do not pay anything to my mum. She lets me live freely so long as i buy my own food.

    You are classed as a non dependent. The only benefits that are affected are housing benefit and council tax reduction. If your mum is receiving these then she will lose some of her HB and CT reduction according to how much you earn. You can look up the rates on your local council website.

    Although you are not liable for rent or council tax it is expected that you would financially 'help out' so that your mum does not suffer financially.

    Your mum must report the change of circumstances to the council.

    Having said that I am unsure whether she is getting HB or Support for mortgage interest as you mention a mortgage?
