Student nurses and Tax credits?

I a looking to apply to uni for next september to study nursing and wanted to ask a few Q's.
Will the bursary affect mine and my partners tax credits?
Can i claim the childcare part if the bursary is classed as an income?
I heard that student nurses are entitled to the wtc part too? is that just a rumour?
Anything else that i could be entitled too? My partner has just changed jobs and get around £17K a year.

The bursary does not affect the tax credits. Student nurses cannot claim WTC but you can be part of a joint claim if your partner is entitled.

My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.0 -
