Student loans effect on Universal credit

OCLL
OCLL Posts: 2 Newbie
I am a student and am soon applying for my next year of loans. However, in my out of term address, i plan to move in with my Dad. Where currently i live with my Mum. 
The issue is how will my student loan effect my Dads Universal Credit? Will the UC amount decline ? Or does it not effect it at all?

    Hi OCLL and welcome to the forum  :).

    Sorry, I don't know and cannot answer your question.  But I recommend you repost your question on the Benefits & Tax Credits board:)

    As mentioned it will have no impact on his UC. His earning is only used to determine how much student finance you are awarded. 
    Good luck with your studies.
