    That would depend on your income. It would be possible to get the 25% discount and some benefit if your income is low enough.

  • Well our income would essentially be 0, as my partner would be at home with our little one. I do get a bursary though, but the Tax Credit people already know about this, and have told me that as its not taxable, its not counted towards income. That said, we could probably survive without other benefits so long as the CTC and DLA and Carers allowance were in place.

    The tax credit people can give you a 'quote' which would possibly confirm yourfigures
