Questions on grants/finances at home

I'm considering on moving out to a university in a different city, and I know all the finance stuff I need to know for that.

But if I stay in Liverpool, living with my parents whilst attending Liverpool University, what kind of finance and grants would I still be entitled to? (Bearing in mind that my family has £0 income, and live on all benefit supports)

- Student finance living costs loan, do I still get some of this or none at all?
- Maintenance loan, Can I still get one by staying at home?
- Others, is there anything else available for me?

Thanks, Rhys

You would get a reduced loan, not sure how much. No idea about grant, I imagine you'd still get this. If you go on the student finance website there's a calculator where you put your details in and it gives you an estimate. Also, your household income isn't £0, it's whatever you get on benefits. It's probably under £25k though so if you don't know how much they get put in like £10k or £15k and it will give you a reasonable estimate.
