Hi,
I’m 19 and haven’t lived with my mum for a year now, I live with my boyfriend and we are both working and studying. I’m currently taking a gap year but already have a place for an undergraduate course starting September 2019. When applying for student finance I’m going to have to provide evidence of my parent’s income, but why is this necessary if I’m completely independent from both my parents? Is there a way I could go around this maybe? I’ve completed a foundation course last year but didn’t need to go through student finance as I wasn’t entitled to anything anyway, So I’m not too familiar with what has to be done.
