wait till the end of this month and collect a letter from the school. The last time I checked you still get a valid visa till January. No rush  Vintagee: Please house, does anybody have an evidence one can show to an employer to enable them ass8gn COS to a student whose course end date is end of this month. The COS is available but they insists students cannot switch till end of their course so cannot assign the COS until then.
However, from my understanding of the new policy, students can switch so long as the job start date is after their course completion.
Any evidence that can be shown to the employer? |

For the council tax. You’re not supposed to pay a dime. Email this message to your council and they will grant you full exemption: On this, I helped draft the email below and so far, I have had 100% success rate from people I shared with. Let the student send this to the council ccing the partner. Good evening, My name is xx, a full-time international student at xx University and my partner's name is xx. I reside at xx. I had initially requested a council tax exemption as a full-time student but was told my partner is a liable party for council tax because he is not a full-time student. We received the attached bill to this effect for the period xx 2022 - xx 2023 wherein it was split into xx equal installments. However, Article 3 of the council tax (Exempt Dwellings) Order, SI 1992/558 provides that 'A dwelling is exempt from council tax if it falls within any of the following Class N: a dwelling which is either: (a) occupied by one or more residents all of whom are relevant persons; (b) occupied only by one or more relevant persons as term time accommodation. A relevant person means: (i) a student; (ii) a student's spouse or dependant being in each case a person who is not a British citizen and who is prevented, by the terms of his leave to enter or remain in the UK, from taking paid employment or from claiming benefits or (iii) a person to whom Class C (school or college leavers) of regulation 3(1) of the council tax (Additional Provision for Discount Disregards) Regulation 1992 applies. From the foregoing, please note that I belong to category a(i) I am a student and my partner belongs to category a(ii) he is the spouse of a student. We are both non-British citizens and his visa prevents him from claiming benefits. Subsequently, we qualify for the 100% council tax exemption. Furthermore, please see below links citing cases whereby 100% exemptions were granted to student dependants by the Court: https://www.casemine.com/judgement/uk/5a8ff72860d03e7f57ea8dcf/amp https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/law/local-government/65852.article We look forward to your kind response.. Copied On the issue of working more than 20hrs you better stop it now before you land yourself in trouble. UKBA no dey smile at this moment. Ire oo Happyfellow147: Hello everyone,
I got a letter from the council for council tax and I’m wondering if people pay as high as £188 each month as council tax. I was living in a serviced apartment with bills included so this is my first contact with bills. Also as a student, I learnt I should either be exempted or pay a reduced rate. My husband is working fully though. What next steps can I take?
My second concern is the letter that was shared some days back about overworking. I registered with two agencies and because shifts are not that stable, I can get one shift from each agency per week. I’m aggregate, it’s two shifts per week but both are 12 hours shift. I have been concerned that this does not affect my PSWP application. Can anyone share their thoughts |
