Don't live with parent-does their income count against me?
Hi,
I live on my own with a partner in a separate property to my Dad, but I still have contact with him. Student finance have asked for his income and other details.
His income is over the grant threshold, however my household income isn't-does this affect the amount I can get in student loans and mean I won't get a grant?
Thanks. -
Re: Don't live with parent-does their income count against me?I've tried to put it as having more contact with my Dad, put when he tries to register to give evidence it puts him at my address and can't change it :s(Original post by Shani)
Unless you are 25 or over, married, are a parent or have been supporting yourself financially for 3 years (earning £7500+ each year, with proof of this) then you will have to be assessed off your parents income.
Is there anything I can do?? -
Re: Don't live with parent-does their income count against me?Call student finance...easiest way to explain the situation to them and see what they say about that.(Original post by VengefulMuffin)
