Applying for student finance as a care leaver who lives with parents

I am a care leaver, but I currently live at home temporarily until my local authority can find accommodation. I started to fill out the form and I stated I'm living at home with my parents and must put their details. Do I have to put their details? How can I apply independently?

Hi Nadia,

If you're a care lever you can apply as an independent student. If you want to contact us via the live chat in your account we can check your application and advise on correcting this. Thanks, Jason
