Hi All,

I will be starting a PhD soon, and had a question regarding student loan repayments since my situation is a bit odd.

Wanted to ask if anyone knows whether PhD stipends count as income towards student loan repayments. Without going into too much detail, I have supplementary income that is below the income tax threshold, including some from an ISA, and am certain that I will cross the repayment threshold.

Would PhD stipends count as income to the SLC?

Thanks,
