Deprivation of income

Provides a definition of deprivation of income.

Deprivation of income is where you are or were able to generate income, but your actions have either directly or indirectly, prevented you from doing so.

Note: If a student, a student's parent or partner directly or indirectly deprives themselves of income resulting in the student getting a Student Allowance or a payment at a higher rate, the Student Allowance may be cancelled or reassessed to take into account the deprived income.
