in Benefits & tax credits
Hi,
I am wondering if I am entitled to any help for a 4 year part time university course. I earn 16,000 before tax and have a second job earning £40 - £90 per month. However, I live with someone who earns much more than me. Would this count as 'household income' and leave me unable to receive help with costs? - and unable to study :(

Also I would be traveling quite a distance to uni 3 days a week (travel costs aprox. £60 per week), does anyone know if there is any cost help available towards this?

Thanks :)
