I think I’m in trouble

I think I’ve made a huge mistake.

I’ve been in full time university now for one year and a half . I had no idea that you had to declare to universal credit that I claimed student finance until today. I’m absolutely petrified now that I’m gonna get sent to jail or something.

I’ve got an appointment coming up so I’m going to make them aware. I feel awful. I don’t know what to do.

Im a full time student, 3 children under the age of five and just had no idea at all. Advice please has anyone been through this 😩
