Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

When my mother fills in her finance information can she estimate her earnings?

Because we don't feel like spending ages adding up her total income down to the last penny :/ she's on benefits only, so it's a pretty low amount anyway. Will student finance mind we just put £9000 even if it's really £9345.87 or something?

She needs to put in the amounts from her P60U form for 2014/15 tax year.

The P60U form should have been sent to her by the DWP last April. She should be able to get a replacement or a letter with the same information from her JobCentrePlus phone line.

SFE will check details against her HMRC records and may ask to see evidence - you can't guess the amounts.
