(2) There shall be disregarded from the calculation of a claimant’s gross income under paragraph (1) any sum, where applicable, specified in Schedule 7.

(5ZA) [F6Where a relevant payment is made quarterly, the] amount of a relevant payment to be taken into account for the assessment period for the purposes of paragraph (1) in respect of a person to whom paragraph (5) applies, shall be calculated by applying the formula—

C = the weekly amount of the relevant payment, before the application of the £10 disregard, which would have been taken into account as income under regulation 136(2) had the person not abandoned or been dismissed from, his course and, in the case of a person who was not entitled to a jobseeker’s allowance immediately before he abandoned or was dismissed from his course, had that person, at that time, been entitled to a jobseeker’s allowance;

D = the number of benefit weeks in the assessment period.

[F7(5AZA)  Where a relevant payment is made by two or more instalments in a quarter, the amount of a relevant payment to be taken into account for the assessment period for the purposes of paragraph (1) in respect of a person to whom paragraph (5) applies, shall be calculated by applying the formula in paragraph (5ZA) but as if—

=

the total amount of relevant payments which that person received, or would have received, from the first day of the academic year to the day the person abandoned the course, or was dismissed from it, less any deduction under regulation 136(5).]

[F9“assessment period” means—

(b)

in a case where the relevant payment is made by two or more instalments in a quarter, the period beginning with the benefit week which includes the day on which the person abandoned, or was dismissed from, his course and ending with the benefit week which includes—

(i)

the day immediately before the day on which the next instalment of the relevant payment would have been due had the payments continued; or

(ii)

the last day of the last quarter for which an instalment of the relevant payment was payable to that person,

whichever of those dates is earlier;]

[F10“quarter” in relation to an assessment period means a period in that year beginning on—

[F11(5A) In the case of income to which regulation 94(2B) applies (calculation of income of former full-time students), the amount of income to be taken into account for the purposes of paragraph (1) shall be the amount of that income calculated in accordance with regulation 97(7) and on the basis that none of that income has been repaid.]

[F12(5B) Where the claimant—

(a)is a member of a couple;

(b)his partner is receiving a contributory employment and support allowance; and

(c)that benefit has been reduced under regulation 63 of the Employment and Support Allowance Regulations [F13or section 11J of the Welfare Reform Act as the case may be],

the amount of that benefit to be taken into account is the amount as if it had not been reduced.]

(6) For the avoidance of doubt there shall be included as income to be taken into account under paragraph (1)

[F14(a)any payment to which regulation 98(2)(a) to (e) or 100(2) (payments not earnings) applies; or

(b)in the case of a claimant who is receiving support under section 95 or 98 of the Immigration and Asylum Act including support provided by virtue of regulations made under Schedule 9 to that Act, the amount of such support provided in respect of essential living needs of the claimant and his [F15dependants] [F15partner] (if any) as is specified in regulations made under paragraph 3 of Schedule 8 to the Immigration and Asylum Act.]
