Greater Maintenance Loan

I was going through the student finance application process earlier and i had applied for the greater maintenance loan and it said it would be checking what my household income is before it would decide.


The problem is I am currently in full time employment but will be leaving to study in September and i only live with my mother who works part time on a low income, so my question is when i apply for the greater maintenance loan will they know this or assume that the household income will remain the same?

any help would be much appreciated

(BTW I will be commuting from home Leicester to northampton)

dependant i think (sorry)

With working full time I'm currently paying alot towards bills but once I'm at uni will be dependent on the loan as my mother will still be on low income
