Do I have to apply for maintenance loan?

Hi!
Was just wondering if I have to apply for maintenance loan? I live with my mum and have a part time job. And even though I'm entitled to it I don't really want it. Was just wondering whether it was a option to have it or not

You don't have to have one, it depends if you feel comfortable living just off your part time income.

Yeh we have, tbf she already supports me as it is so I guess it won't make much difference. I pay abit for rent and that's it. So it should be fine right?

Well if she got any benefits for you it could make a difference but otherwise it wouldn't make a difference.
