Maintenance Loan eligibility?

Hi,
I`m applying to university this year for a course starting next year and I`m freaking out with the eligibility for student loans as I really want to go uni next year. I`ve only lived in the UK for 3 years (4 years next august, before university starts). Would I be eligible for maintenance loan?

Thank you!

It's how long you've lived here and not your mum.

So if I`ve been in the UK for 4 years, would I be eligible for the loan?

Only tuition. Has to be 5 for maintenance.

Hi there.

You will not be eligible based on the standard residency criteria.

Will you choose to work whilst you study or are you related to anyone from the EU who will be working in the UK whilst you study?

Thanks

Hello! Sorry for only replying now (I was not notified that I had a reply) and thank you for your help.
I am related to a EU person who is working and will continue to work in the UK whilst I study. My mom who`s been here for 5/6 years...

so would I have to send this alongside the paper forms (PN1) by post? Or could I apply as an English student through the online application and send the evidence?

Thank you for your help! And I apologise for the inconvenience.
Have a nice day!
