Rates of government support
The Handbook is up to date at 1 November 2020 and is intended to be used for the academic year 2020/21, with information provided for 2021/22 if available.
Rates of student support, benefits and tax credits used are those for the 2020/21 academic year, and the 2021/22 year if available. Benefit and tax credit rates will be uprated in April 2021 (these rates are usually available from January, though the government has frozen many rates for the next few years), whereas student support rates will be uprated, where applicable, in September 2021.
