Student nurses who are not on a full-time course at college or university are disregarded as persons who are following a course leading to an appropriate registration under the Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors Act 1979.

Student nurses in full time education are also disregarded as they are treated as academic students.

What happens if you qualify

Should you qualify for the reduction you must tell us within 21 days about any change in circumstances that may affect your entitlement to the discount (e.g. another person moves into the property). Failure to do so may result in a penalty.

We will contact you periodically to confirm that you are still entitled to the disregard; however, you must still advise us of any changes in circumstance within 21 days.
