    Student Finance Help: Avoid Declaring Income
    Panicking after leaving student finance to the last minute (my bad) and need to know how to not declare my parent's income (I'm applying for full tuition loan and lowest maintaince and no grants).

    Anybody remember which section it is in and how you can do it? :confused:

    Bottom brackets are not based on income?

    No he's going for the non-means tested option. I assume what he means by 'avoid declaring income' is how does he avoid being prompted for it, what options does he press.

    if you can't work out where it is, then you'll get the minimum amounts if your parents don't provide their details by the deadline - mine is meant to be means tested but as my dad didn't send in his forms, i'm getting the minimum loan. so you could just do that!

    I can't complete my application without going past this step online!
