Will I lose my benefits when I get my NHS bursary?

I am a student nurse, and NO, your bursary will not affect your benefits, if anything, you will be better off.\nYou will be entitled to extra bursary for having two children, and maybe extra government benefits which I am not sure about.  Your uni should have a financial advisor who will help you get all you are entitled to.  Your tax bracket will drop (but not automatically, you have to go and get it from your tax office,) so any work you do will be taxed accordingly.  You should be entitled to a council tax benefit, (if you are not getting it already) but again, you have to go to the tax office to claim it.\nStudent life is ace, you get a student uni card which gets you discounts here and there, and there are not many courses available which offer a bursary, so make the most of it, study hard, and in no time at all you will be getting a decent wage and being an excellent role model for your kids - good luck!!\n\nBe honest cos you will be surprised, there are alot of benefits out there for someone in your position - go for it!

Yes, if you have over £6,000 in savings it affects your claim.  I don't think you can claim it if you have over £6,000.

As i said before get a solicitor and he will look at all the information you have.Sounds to me the solicitor will sue them for negligance.I had a bad fall 7 years ago down a pot hole right outside the bus stop when i was getting off a bus.I had to have a operation to repair a main ligament which came off the lateral side off my ankle.In plaster cast for 6 wks,then physio for 2 mths.The council admitted lybility and i was offered £24,000 which i accepted.Also the council payed all expensies for the operation in a private hospital,physio treatment.You have a strong case here and sounds to me you will be awarded if won alot more then me as i have not goune through all what you have,also all the operations you have had to recieve,and off course your age.Good Luck

No, but your dependents receive them.  Just like if you were dead.  You are unable to provide for them, so the government gives them what your contribution would have been to the family.

Ok, hang in there, I hope you'll get the angiogram done as soon as possible. I also work in England- in a hospital that does angiograms, not an NHS hospital.. Consider a private insurance (BUPA is good)..

I'm not sure what you are asking, but I think you are asking if the $10 taken from your pay each time for your share of the health insurance cost can be reimbursed from the FSA account you are contributing to. I would say no if I am right because the $10 is being treated as pre-tax and you are not eligible to get a reimbursement from an FSA for something that you are paying on a pre-tax basis.

they are bang out of order, i only have a bank account because the child benefit agency and tax credits lot want to pay into an account!!!\nand as the money is for my kids i wanted to keep it separate from our main account. I don't want to have to pay for my account as it would come to a large sum over a yr as not that much gets paid in to start with

You only get a rebate if you've overpaid tax. This seldom happens, as most employers use the PAYE tax system.\n\nHowever, if you leave a job part-way through the financial year, and don't go back to work, then you will get a tax refund at the end of the financial year.\n\nSo, getting a tax refund may seem great, but in reality you're only getting back tax that you have already overpaid.

No.  But depending on the terms of the plan, once you sign up you may have to pay for a year, or you might be required to have vision if you want other benefits.  Your HR Department should explain this to you.  Also, you are entitled by law to a concise summary of your benefits; ask them for the "SPD" (Summary Plan Description), which should explain this to you.  If you disagree with the administration of benefits, read the SPD about how to appeal anf follow the instructions precisely.  (Typically it involves writing to the plan administrator).

No, it would clear my debts and leave me £20,000 which is enough to lose me my benefits but not enough to do anything with. I would not turn it down though

Yes, but your application is not be processed on time and you may have to pay out your pocket until your funds come in.

Humpty, I'd recommend that you don't sit on any walls  before getting private medical insurance, because if you have a great fall I'm sure the NHS (and maybe the Queen's men and horses would be involved - though not sure how much use the horses would be) wouldn't be able to put you together again.

I worked abroad for a few years, I paid no income tax and my National Insurance contrbutions were considerably reduced.  I remained a British citizen throughout and so am entitled to all such benefits, as you should be, as you have paid the insurance

You will lose the money Im afraid.\n\nCan I ask why are you wanting to withdraw?  If its because the course isnt right for you then could you ask to transfer to another course?\n\nUK universities are funded by 'bums on seat' so will probably transfer you rather than lose you as a student? \n\nGood luck

The question really can't be answered without more information.  Was it truly without warning?  I doubt it.  But assuming it was, then the answer to your question is "no."  You are entitled to due process, which means notice and an opportunity to be heard prior to having benefits cut off.  \n\nTalk to your local department of health and human services.  Or, see if there are free legal clinics in your area.

If he has a company car you can sue the company. \n\nHave a look here:http://www.mib.org.uk/Default.htm\n\nor here: http://www.mib.org.uk/MIB/en/Claims/UK/Uninsured/GFprocedure.htm\n\nIf your fully comp then you will have to pay (because you can claim). If your TP covered then you can claim through the MIB. I did it. Got paid out!

I lost my job over a month ago and immediately arranged appointment but didn't get one till ten days later. I had my new claims interview, then signed on one week later, and now, two weeks after that, my money is supposedly 'on it's way'. Housing benefit can take even longer, up to 2 months. It really, really, sucks - I just hope you have generous friends and live near a Netto.
