The Student Room Group

Student Finance - Do I apply based on household income or not?

I'm from Northern Ireland going to study Nursing in England.

Obviously the tuition fees are covered by the NHS so I'll leave that section blank, but for the maintenance loan do I apply based on household income or not based on household income? My college told me to apply not based on household income, but why?

My Mum is a full time carer for my Grandmother so receives benefits, surely if I applied based on household income I would be eligible for more?

So confused, help?

The maintenance loan from SFE is a standard amount for people on NHS funded courses so it doesn't matter, you won't get any more or any less.
