i have a big problem-grant

annacanna

i will be applying for a grant in june for 2012/2013 as an independant mature student but i recieved a gift of a house worth 45,000 euro in may2011 which will be taken into account according to the old grant system. since this house is my primary residence (not rented out, no income from it) does anyone know how it will be assesed? im on social welfare so getting the grant is very important

(6) If any of the persons whose income is under consideration received gifts
or inheritances in the reference period, these are included in reckonable
income, unless—
(
a) in the case of an independent student, the gifts or inheritances were
between the applicant and his or her spouse, civil partner or cohabitant;
or
(b) in the case of a dependent student, the gifts or inheritances were

between parents or to the applicant from his or her parent(s).
