Stop classing student maintenance loan as income when working out UC entitlement

Petition Details

The Government needs to stop classing student maintenance loan as income when determining entitlement to Universal Credit.

Additional Information

The DWP deduct exactly the amount of student maintenance loan from UC entitlement. I think this is WRONG! The maintenance loan has to be paid back from future income so SHOULD NOT be classed as income! I think having it deducted from benefit entitlement is basically like having to pay it back twice!
