Do not treat student maintenance loans as an income for Universal Credit

Petition Details

I want the Government to stop student maintenance loans being treated as income for Universal Credit. As a student nurse I am trying to better myself and follow my dreams, and it is not fair that student loans are treated as income for Universal Credit, when these most also be repaid.

Additional Information

I feel that if this was scrapped that more people would sign up to university and become students. This would help students to feel less stressed and worried about money so they can better focus on their studies. I have spoken to a lot of students and they agree it is wrong to be effectively paying student loans twice.
