My understanding is that a person is allowed to be on welfare as well as apply for
student loans . The problem is that the money you receive while on welfare is
calculated as "income" , affecting the amount of money the government will award you
in student loans . A sad state of affairs considering neither is enough to resemble a
decent living wage.
