Student finance

Can someone tell me which of these are classed as income for housing benefit and tax credits.

• NHS Bursary
• Maintenance Loan
• Maintenance Grant
• Parents Learning Allowance
• Adult Dependants Grant

I have looked on the internet but have got conflicting information.

Thanks in advance

For housing benefit all are counted. But you have some disregards for travel and books.

If you receive the NHS bursary, you won't receive the maintenance grant.

Thanks for the replys.

My husband is also going to be a student so he gets the maintenance grant and we both get the dependants learning allowance, but half each.
