PFF2 and CYI

Hi,
I am entering uni in sep 2021 and applied for student finance a couple of months ago with the 2019/2020 tax year income details as the basis of my student finance. There was an unrelated issue on my account where some amounts were incorrect but on the phone to resolve this I was told about the CYI form. My dad was on a temp contract that was 3 months in the 2019-2020 tax year and 3 months in the 2020-2021 tax year so the income looked higher than it was. I applied for student finance and have been awarded an amount of around £5000. Is it okay to just send the 2019-2020 pff2 form and the cyi form in to the po box in darlington or do I need to do anything else? Also, on the cyi form it asks for me parents customer reference number which we have never been given but does not ask for mine so there is seemingly nothing identifying me as the student, how does this work? Please help, this whole system is just really complicated

Hi, we require the 2019/20 figures first.


If your household income has dropped by more than 15% then your parent(s) can complete a Current Year Income form to provide their estimated 2021/22 tax year income. If they do this, it's important they update us if their income changes throughout the year because at the end of the tax year we will ask them to provide the actual income they earned with evidence and if their actual income doesn't match the estimated income they provided then it could cause you to be overpaid and be required to pay money back. Your parent(s) can download this form and find out more information by clicking here https://media.slc.co.uk/sfe/currentyearincome/index.html

Your parents can send:

- PFF2 form to supply the 19/20 income http://ow.ly/d/8pbp
- CYI form to estimate their 21/22 tax year income http://ow.ly/d/8p4Q

Both forms can be completed digitally and uploaded online.
Your dad doesn't need to provide a CRN.

Thanks, Isaac

Thank you!
