Higher education providers are autonomous bodies and decide what courses to deliver.<\/p>
Dual Degree programmes, sometimes known as double degree programmes, can attract student support if the course is an eligible course, as defined in the Education (Student Support) Regulations 2011. Designated courses must be substantially provided in the UK, which means that at least half the teaching and supervision is provided in the UK. Authority Funded institutions should also comply with maximum fee limits set out in the Higher Education (Basic Amount) (England) Regulations 2016 and the Higher Education (Higher Amount) (England) Regulations 2016.<\/p>"}

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) publishes information on international students in Higher Education Institutions in England, by country of domicile (based on the student\u2019s permanent home address prior to entry to the course). Using HESA, the latest data available shows that in academic year 2017/18, there were approximately 139,000 EU domiciled students studying in UK Higher Education Institutions.<\/p>
Similarly, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) publish data on international tertiary education enrolments for countries across the world. The latest data available from UNESCO shows that in the calendar year 2016, there were 16,000 UK students studying a full course in EU countries.<\/p>"}

Universal Credit is a 24 hour, seven days a week, digital service that allows claimants to manage their own data and account online at a time which is convenient for them. Via their account claimants can check their Universal Credit benefit payments, notify us of changes and record notes via an online journal facility. In addition, established claimants who call the Freephone Universal Credit helpline are connected directly to the person or team who are dealing with the case.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are aware that some claimants who are working may find it difficult to access our Jobcentre Plus Service due to their work commitments, however, not all Universal Credit claimants are required to attend interviews at their local Jobcentre. This will depend on their individual personal circumstances. For claimants whose earnings are above the individual or household Conditionality Earnings Threshold or the Administrative Earnings Threshold there is no conditionality requirement to attend interviews with a Work Coach.<\/p>
<\/p>
Where a voluntary interview is necessary to verify evidence, claimants are able to arrange the most convenient date and time with their Work Coach or Case Manager.<\/p>"}

DWP administer a wide range of benefits, all of which have different processes in place to deal with the vast range of potential changes to a claimant\u2019s circumstances. How the change affects a claimant\u2019s payments depends on the type of change, which benefit they are receiving, the claim\u2019s status before the change occurs and whether the change was self-reported by the claimant or by a third party.<\/p>
<\/p>
In all cases the Department works with the claimant to ensure payment continuity wherever possible. There are processes in place to ensure that when a benefit recipient reports a change in circumstances, they continue to receive the correct award of that benefit, or are informed of what appropriate action they should take where the change effects continued entitlement.<\/p>"}

Last year, Government launched a Call for Evidence on Cash and Digital Payments in the New Economy. One part of the wide range of evidence collected detailed the changing levels of cash usage. Responses showed that, although the proportion of cash transactions is expected to fall over the next 10 years, cash remains important in the lives of many people and businesses across the UK. That\u2019s why the Government is committed to supporting digital payments, whilst safeguarding access to cash for those who need it. The Government is engaging, and will continue to engage, with the regulators and industry on this important topic.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has not made an assessment of the effect on poor households of free-to-use ATMs becoming pay-to-use. However, the Government-established Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) is closely monitoring developments in ATM provision, including those that are free-to-use. The PSR regulates LINK, the scheme which runs the UK\u2019s ATM network, and has used its powers to hold LINK to account over LINK\u2019s commitments to preserve the broad geographic spread of the ATM network.<\/p>
<\/p>
The PSR has set out requirements of LINK, including that any cuts to interchange fees (the fees which fund free-to-use ATMs) must be incremental, with action taken by LINK where the impact is not as expected. Having implemented two of the four planned incremental reductions to the interchange fee, LINK has cancelled the third reduction and put on hold the fourth. The PSR welcomed these adjustments, having stated that LINK must carefully review its decisions on interchange fees to reflect changing market conditions. These adjustments gave the PSR further assurances that LINK is committed to making sure communities do not lose their free-to-use ATMs.<\/p>
<\/p>
LINK has put in place specific arrangements to protect free-to-use ATMs more than 1 kilometre away from the next nearest free-to-use ATM. LINK has also enhanced its Financial Inclusion Programme by tripling the funding available to ATMs in the most deprived areas of the UK and undertaken new financial support for ATMs in remote and deprived areas.<\/p>"}
