So this should always be Care to Learn- copy however the govt calls schemes.

For the Care to Learn scheme. Please run all text additions through Claude for grammar in future- bit repetitive! Thanks

Always end descriptions with full stops, as in previous PRs :)

Clean, nice formula!
| # Check basic eligibility conditions | ||
| has_children = person.benunit.any(person("is_child", period)) | ||
| p = parameters(period).gov.hmrc.study_childcare_entitlement | ||
| under_20 = person("age", period) < p.care_to_learn_age_eligible |

Avoid parameter values in variable names
| under_20 = person("age", period) < p.care_to_learn_age_eligible | |
| age_eligible = person("age", period) < p.care_to_learn_age_eligible |

Then use ~is_child below. ~is_child does not imply is_parent.
| is_parent = ~person("is_child", period) | |
| is_child = person("is_child", period) |
| eligible = person("care_to_learn_eligible", period) | ||

Don't need the extra variable
| household_region = person.household("region", period) | |
| region = person.household("region", period) | |
| p = parameters(period).gov.hmrc.study_childcare_entitlement.care_to_learn.amount | |
| max_amount = where( | |
| region == region.possible_values.LONDON, | |
| p.in_london, | |
| p.outside_london, | |
| ) | |
| return eligible * max_amount * WEEKS_IN_YEAR |
