    Change of income help
    Hopefully someone will be able to help me with this.

    Basically, I'm going into my second year in September so I've already applied for student finance. When I applied I was only eligible for the minimum maintenance loan due to my household income. However, my Dad has now lost his job so my household income is currently something like £8000.

    Is there any way I can change my application to receive a maintenance grant and a higher loan?

    My current application is not income assessed if that makes a difference.

    Thanks very much to anyone who replies.

    Sorry to hear that!

    And yeah i think student maintenance will help you. You will need to call them to ask for advice on how to proceed though.

    You should be able to fill in a change of circumstances form.
