hardly getting a maintenance grant?, what the hell

my mum doesn't work and my dad earns exactly 32000 a year. My dad has me and my other siblings to support. After giving student finance my household income couple weeks ago, i received a letter yesterday saying im only entitled to 500 pound grant which doesn't make sense. i was expecting 2000 per year as i used the maintenance grant calculator on their website and 2000 is what it came down to. do you think they will reconsider the amount of grant they gave me?,

this was the grant calculator i used on their website,

https://www.gov.uk/student-finance-calculator/y/2014-2015/uk-full-time/9000.0/away-in-london/31980.0/no/none-of-the-above

i filled it out and it said a minimum 2066 maintenance grant.

It probably is worth contacting them. I'm not entirely sure what other things are factored into calculating the Grant but £500 definitely looks too low. Are you sure that's how much your dad earns pre-tax? The income is assessed from 2013-2014, are you sure he wasn't earning more then?
