AEB funding eligibility; Settled Status = Indef Leave to Remain?
Created
Hello,
There's been a lot of confusion here regarding the new eligibility rules for AEB (and 16-18 study programmes).
Can "Settled Status" under the EU Settlement Scheme be equated with references to "Indefinite Leave to Remain"? - Some sources say they are the same thing, others imply a difference. So for example:
a) A 19+ learner is Brazilian with Settled Status. Since 38.1 only applies to EEA nationals, can they qualify under 41.4?
b) A 19+ learner does not have 3 year EEA residency but has a parent/spouse with Settled Status. Can they qualify under 41.8?
c) 16-18 year old without 3 year residency who is not an EU national and does not fit into any other category but has Settled Status - can they qualify under 39. B ?
c) 16-18 year old who doesn't fall into any other category but accompanied a parent with Settled (or pre-settled) status. Can they qualify under 40.a?
Thanks.

Basically no. 41.4 is for learners that gained ILR prior to Brexit. If they have settled status you have to follow funding rules relating to EU nationals, check their evidence and make sure they have been resident in the UK/EU for the last 3 years.
