Student finance for mature students

Does anyone know of a website/calculator that will give me an idea of what student finance I would be entitled to as a mature student living in my own home? I have a 19 year old son who is still at Uni but no other income. There is plenty of information for conventional students but not much for us oldies 😀

If it's just you and your son then looking at the calculator you would just get the standard maximum loan I think https://www.gov.uk/student-finance-calculator/y/2017-2018/uk-full-time/9250.0/away-outside-london/0.0/no/none-of-the-above.

Thank you. I looked at this earlier but wasn't sure if I qualify for the amount that younger students get for living at home or for living away?
