Maintenance loan and ex girlfriend

Hello,

Currently I live with my ex and wonder if I need to include her as a “partner” or I can ignore it. I am 24 years old and have been independent from my parents for more than 3 years now. If I need include my ex, is my maintenance loan will be affected or it doesn’t affect how much I will get? Thank you for your support

Hi Damian,

Is this the first year of your course? Thanks, Jason

Hi Damian,

Thanks, when does your next academic year begin?

When do you turn 25?

Thanks, Graeme

My academic year begins on January 2024 and I turn 25 on October 23rd

Hi Damian,

Can you confirm if your and your ex partner were married? Do you have children?

Thanks,
Claire

We were not married

Hi Damian,

Can you confirm if your and your ex partner were married? Do you have children?

Thanks,
Claire

She wasn’t married and I dont have children

Hi DamianDanielDo,

You wouldn't include your ex-partner as your sponsor if you are under 25 and were not married. If you have been awarded Independent status based on self support in your foundation year this should carry over to the next academic year.

Thanks,
Calum
