Step 1Identify the amount of base grant and maintenance grant payable to the student which is to be treated as a special support payment under regulation 50.

Step 2Calculate the applicable amount of living support for the student by reference to Table 10A, where Column 2 of the table specifies the amount of living support that applies in relation to the academic year specified in Column 1.Table 10AColumn 1Column 2Academic yearAmount of living support for part-time student where special support payableBeginning on or after 1 September 2018 but before 1 September 2019£6,650 multiplied by the intensity of studyBeginning on or after 1 September 2019 but before 1 September 2020£6,815 multiplied by the intensity of studyBeginning on or after 1 September 2020 but before 1 September 2021£7,245 multiplied by the intensity of studyBeginning on or after 1 September 2021 but before 1 September 2022£7,640 multiplied by the intensity of study Beginning on or after 1 September 2022 but before 1 September 2023 £7,905 multiplied by the intensity of study Beginning on or after 1 September 2023 but before 1 September 2024 £8,650 multiplied by the intensity of study Beginning on or after 1 September 2024 but before 1 September 2025 £8,965 multiplied by the intensity of study Beginning on or after 1 September 2025 but before 1 September 2026 £9,105, multiplied by the intensity of study Beginning on or after 1 September 2026 £9,285 multiplied by the intensity of study
