Imputes student_loan_plan variable based on age and reported student loan repayments. Plan type is assigned according to when the person likely started university (age 18), using the transition dates: - Plan 1: Started before September 2012 - Plan 2: Started September 2012 - August 2023 - Plan 5: Started September 2023 onwards This enables policyengine-uk's student_loan_repayment variable to calculate repayments using official threshold parameters without needing custom code in downstream projects.

policyengine-uk-data now imputes student_loan_plan based on age and reported repayments. This removes the custom inference logic from the dashboard, replacing it with a simpler function that just connects policyengine-uk's student_loan_repayment variable to the tax/revenue totals.

Why this matters
This enables downstream projects (like uk-autumn-budget-dashboard) to use policyengine-uk's
student_loan_repaymentvariable directly with official threshold parameters, rather than implementing custom student loan logic.Test plan
StudentLoanPlanenum values match policyengine-ukFixes #234
