Household income challenge

Not sure what I am looking for here - but, my cousin is looking to go to uni in sept 2024 and it's somewhat problematic when it comes to her student finance maintenance loan and grant. As with most households these days, your household income isn't away directly relevant. In her case, her mums new partner now lives with them but does not contribute towards 'her' kids as he has his own x2. They keep finances very separate as he is not yet divorced from his previous wife. So although my cousins mum supports her financially exclusively, the household income is taken into account so she can't maximise the maintenance side of SFE.

What advice would you give her, if any? Thanks :smile:
