Parental Relationship Circumstances - Student Allowance definitions
This provides Student Allowance definitions for parental relationship circumstances - relationship with only one parent, and no relationship with parents.
Relationship with only one parent
This is where you are separated and independent from one of your parents. There are limited categories - one example is where there is a breakdown in the relationship between you and one of your parents, and contact with that parent would have a detrimental psychological effect on you or that parent.
No relationship with parents
This is where there are exceptional circumstances that make it unreasonable for you to live with and receive financial assistance from either parent.
