living with retired grandparents

I am applying for student finance for my PGCE course, which starts in September, my parents are divorced, and I rented my own place when started uni, but 6 months ago, I moved in with my grandparents as I could no longer afford it. My student finance goes off my mum's income, but will my new address living with my grandparents affect my loan in any way?

Hi there, What age are you? Have you self supported yourself financially for 3 years prior to the start of your course? Thanks, Karen

If you have supported yourself financially for 3 years prior to the start of your course you could potentially apply as an Independent Student. You can find out more information about that here: https://www.ucas.com/finance/student-finance-england/finance-independent-students

Will you be living with your grandparents whilst you attend your course?

Thanks, Karen
