Summary

  • add a first-pass England Adult Dependants' Grant model
  • parameterize the published maximum, household-income cutoff, and non-partner adult income limit
  • wire the new grant into program metadata and aggregate benefit/spending totals

Model shape

This is intentionally a partial model.

  • eligible students receive the published maximum amount because GOV.UK does not expose a simple public award curve
  • co-resident couple students aged 25+ qualify through an automatic partner path
  • under-25 spouse/civil-partner cases and non-partner adult dependant cases are exposed as explicit inputs
  • the course path defaults to higher-education evidence rather than a narrower England-finance entitlement rule
  • Postgraduate Loan overlap and dependant-adult student-finance overlap both make the student ineligible

Validation

  • uvx ruff check policyengine_uk/variables/gov/dfe/adult_dependants_grant policyengine_uk/variables/gov/gov_spending.py policyengine_uk/variables/household/income/household_benefits.py policyengine_uk/variables/household/income/hbai_benefits.py
  • uv run policyengine-core test policyengine_uk/tests/policy/baseline/gov/dfe/adult_dependants_grant/adult_dependants_grant.yaml
