CCA is calculated by working out your possible entitlement based on the amount you claim and deducting any residual income, if applicable.
Residual income is applied to any Dependants Allowance entitlement awarded.
If your Dependants Allowance entitlement is reduced to nil, the remaining residual income is deducted from any Parent Learning Allowance entitlement.
If there’s still a remaining residual income after this, your CCA will be reduced accordingly.
