Hi Kika,

If the household income is under £25,000 then you would be assessed for the maximum maintenance loan that's applicable to you. Thanks, Jason

Dear Jason,
thank you so much for your response, our household income is 22k from my employment and 10k from my husbands SE for tax year 22/23 equal's to 32k , we both are going to apply for maintenance loan , in case of my application - I heard that my partners income is taken into consideration and in this case his income is 10k so its less than 25k ,
and in case of my husband application - my income is taken into consideration which is 22k and that is less that 25k .
I am understanding it correct? so both of us will be entitled to a max maintenance loan? 9.978£ for me and 9.978 £for my husband? Am I right?

Hi Kika,

Yes, since both of you are under £25,000 then you should be eligible for the maximum finance.

Thanks,
Claire
