I'm supposed to be getting a means tested bursary at my uni but they said that student finance hadn't given them my income details so I rang them up and they now say that I have to fill in and send in a form even through last spring when I initially applied for my finance I asked about this and I was told that I didn't need to send anything in. Now that I do apparently have to send this form in I'm just wondering how they will work out my income as there isn't a box to declare my income and because I'm over 25 it is based purely on mine but there doesn't seem to be a separate form for that, only one for parents and partners. Can anyone help with how I'm supposed to declare it?
I'm living at home and commuting and I don't receive any benefits but I do work part time so surely I need to declare that income somehow? Also I don't actually need the extra money from being means tested it's just to get the bursary.

You only need to declare your estimated unearned income for the year - usually this would be if you have income from a trust fund or from a rental property or taxable interest from your savings.
Income from a part time or holiday job and the money you receive from student finance or your university is specifically EXCLUDED from the income that SFE ask for.
