Welfare benefits and tax credits are very complicated. Be aware that the government offices administering them may sometimes make mistakes in their calculations, or in the advice they give to students.
If you are an EEA or International Student, there is detailed information on the UKCISA website about your position with regard to welfare benefits and tax credits.
Aivan kuten kollegani, komission jäsen Olli Rehn, minäkin olen pannut merkille Liem Hoang Ngocin mietinnössä tehdyt, tätä asiaa koskevat esitykset.

Could you please translate this to English?
Like my colleague, Commissioner Rehn, I have taken note of the proposals in Mr Hoang Ngoc's report on these issues.is trailer camping easy?
I've resisted using a camper trailer for many years due mainly to the idea that most of the places I camp, you can't easily haul a trailer too. That's still true for the most part, although lately I have been noticing some really sweet spots that I could still get to with a trailer.
Lately I've been thinking that I might be taking some longer trips, like out west and north into Canada. Now I'm thinking of buying a small trailer for use kind of like a "motel substitute" - a way to get a no-frills night's sleep, shower and meal, in a rest area or public campground on the way to my destination.
In order for this to work for me, the camper has to be super quick to set up, efficient to operate and easy to maintain. Above all, I want to avoid a labor swap, where the ease of pitching camp is offset by the extra labor at other times of maintenance.
Simply pulling the trailer is a major disadvantage in my book, but I can live with that as long as there aren’t any others. So what do you experienced folks think? Is trailer camping easy enough to compare to a motel stay? Or are there a lot of hidden costs and inconveniences involved?
Yeah, I’m following the teardrop thread, that’s what sparked my interest. I guess what I’m asking is, what kinds of things go wrong that won’t be mentioned on that thread? In the other thread, billinpa had some very good comments on the problems with pop-up trailers. I presume some people have had unexpected problems with the other types too, including the tear drops. So what are those problems?
I didn’t phrase my OP that way, because I don’t want to limit reponses to those who have had problems. If some people have found ways to make it truly easy, then please talk about that too. However, I was expecting to hear from people started out with high hopes and ran into problems, and I didn’t think those comments would be made on the other thread since it is phrased differently.
I spent 6 months traveling the US a couple summers ago, camping the whole way. For the last half of the trip I bought a used Grand Caravan that I pulled the rear seats out of. That left me room to set up a cot and dressers from those plastic storage totes (with sliding drawers) you can buy almost anywhere. It was my own little home on wheels and I loved it!
Thought about a tear drop at the time but like you, didn’t want to pull a trailer. The nice thing about the van was that if I wasn’t in an area where I could find a place in the woods to stop and camp for the night I could just pull over on the street in any residential area. Who’s going to be suspicious of a white Caravan parked on the street?
I travelled around the US last year for nine months pulling a teardrop behind a '98 Subaru Outback (bike and kayak on the car roof); over the Rockies twice, up some gnarly dirt roads in the southwest, no problems. Carried a spare tire but never needed it. Very convenient. Check out jordansteardrop.blogspot.com for pics.
My tear has few systems: pump water sink, external drain, can be hooked up to electricity for interior lights or heater. You do, obviously, still need to find bathroom, shower, etc. But it worked great for me.
Depends on what your aim is and what you compare it to. We’ve done pickup camper, hard-sided trailer, pop-up, and (of course) hotel rooms. All have their advantages, according to the situation. We currently use a pop-up some of the time and tent other times. We also do hotels when not actually camping.
A lot of what has been said in the other thread about pop-ups, IMO, is not necessarily correct. Our 2004 model does not have problems with leaks or mildew. It makes a difference what the tent fabric is and how it’s put together. Setup isn’t that tricky, and yes - you can store gear in it. I suppose if you live in a particularly humid environment, your experience may be different. All trailers and campers sweat to some degree, no matter whether hard or soft sided, if you heat with propane. If you camp in very cold weather, you will find this out. Anything with soft side and/or large window openings can be aired out to dry easily after the trip though, if you have a dry day any time soon. OTOH - pop-ups do have their own special maintenance needs. The lift system must be inspected from time to time and eventually will need repair (after several years under normal operation) and the tent fabric or it’s mounts will eventually need repair - long before a hard-sided trailer does. But they can be repaired for a reasonable cost.
One thing I like about trailers in general (pop-ups included) is that they can be “pre-loaded” during the week, and then hook up to them after work going into the weekend, and drive off with no delay. That isn’t such an advantage if your trailer is without a refrigerator, but even that can be dealt with. Convenience, though, is largely what you develop as a system for preparation - regardless of what you sleep in.
Camping with a trailer isn’t particularly difficult if your vehicle is up to the pulling and your destination is suited to it. If you want it to be easy as possible, anything over 1000lbs or so should have a trailer brake - even if it isn’t required. It makes emergency stops and maneuvers so much safer. A good trailer brake is adjustable to your setup. As with tents, there are a lot of little tricks to simplify setup at camp. You learn some of those best by hanging out with other experienced campers, but some are specific to your rig.
There is no way to say (not knowing you personally) whether a trailer is going to be practical for you or not. That totally depends on your needs and expectations. All I can say is that my experience is that pickup campers are too much bother and not roomy enough unless there is a specific need for that setup, hard-sided trailers are too much up in the wind (unless it’s a “Hi-Lo” style, which is expensive), pop-ups (the current crop of quality full-size designs) are not leaky and complicated but require more setup time and can’t be entered enroute (to access the fridge or toilet, for instance), and tents must be transported and setup empty, put your bed on the ground (unless you set that up), restrict you to coolers and the latrine, are prone to leakage (if not immediately, much sooner in age than any trailer or camper), but are much more portable.
There. That didn’t help you a bit did it?
no matter what the size will have possible road problems,fact of life.You have to back them places,and some drivers can’t even back the car let alone with the trailer. Trailer towing is not for the faint of heart.  With a trailer if you miss an exit it’s a whole lot harder to back with a trailer behind. People still think you can stop on a dime and cut you off coming up to stops,or in traffic. They tailgate trailers for some unknown reason{especially teardrops} because the are rarely seen.  You can get flats, have wheel bearings go bad, have hitch issues just like the tow vehicle. Teardrops are very light weight,and not much problem for any car,but they still have towing problems just like the big rigs. If you have a bathroom on board there is sewage dumping,and water tank filling as added bother. Road tripping with a trailer is a bit more complex then driving to a hotel & checking in. There is also more attention paid to the tow vehicle too. Especially the cooling system,and brakes. Of course other maintenance items involved like state trailer inspections {if needed},sewer chemicals,winter readying the trailer’s water and sewer systems, and storage. I highly doubt tent camping involves any extra required maintenance of the vehicle,or extra driving headaches. If it is a short road trip and you can sleep in your car,why not? Walmarts allow campers to use their parking lot,some sell food,and have bathrooms open 24/7. If you want to know more about teard
