Expand allThis document outlines whether an AIC applicant can continue to receive Assistance for Isolated Children (AIC) for a student who becomes incapacitated.
Assistance for Isolated Children (AIC)
AIC is payable in respect of students who undertake approved studies and are isolated from their nearest appropriate state school or meet special needs or deemed isolated criteria.
Students must satisfy the eligibility conditions for AIC and they and the applicant should assess the most beneficial alternative payments that may be available.
When a student becomes incapacitated but is still considered to be a full time student by their educational institution, the applicant remains eligible for AIC payment.
