Education Allowance rate increase

Pending the passage of legislation, the following recipients of Education Allowance will receive the rate rise from 1 April 2021:

  • students aged 16 or over;
  • students aged under 16 and living away from home;
  • students aged under 16 and homeless;
  • students who are double orphans (both parents have passed away).

Remember, if the student’s circumstances have changed it is important to make sure their details are up to date with DVA.
