The exempt amount is the maximum income (employment, business and capital before tax) you may have half-year without your student aid is reduced. If your income during the current half-year exceeds the exempt amount reduced limit your study, both grant and loan component, with half of the excess amount. The exempt amount is calculated semi-annually and will depend on how many weeks during the semester you will study. The more weeks you will study the lower your franchise.

Study of the illness
If you study with the student as a special insurance coverage. That means you get to keep study support during illness even though you do not study. In addition, leverage is written off after 30 day waiting period.
For you to receive student aid during the disease so you must be totally unable to study and to notify the disease to the insurance fund. If you have partially impaired ability to study the rules do not apply to you. Example, if you can not take more than a part-time due to illness so you can only receive student aid for part-time study.
You must have filed your application for student aid before you get sick of having the right to study the disease. The first semester you study, you must also have begun their studies in the rules to apply. You can not receive student aid if you are sick at the start of your first semester of studies. The period you are eligible for student aid during illness is not counted in the number of weeks that you had the study, nor in the number of weeks at the next study trial. If you are studying in Sweden, it is insurance that make the assessment if you are totally unable to study. Are you studying abroad is the CSN, which makes the assessment.
