Hello do you get more maintenance loan if you have more children I don't mean the parents allowance grant the actuall student finance maintenance loan.I have 3 children but I have included only 1 child in my application. If I had the rest 2 would my loan go up?

I called and they said I'm receiving the right amount but my question it's do you get more maintenance loan if you have 3 children and if you have 1 child is there any difference because of number of children

Hi,

The Maintenance Loan wouldn't change if you had more children. Thanks, Ross

Thank you for your reply.
I just have one more question do I need to send any evidence with CYI form income dropped? Or is it okay just to fill in the form

The form is all we would require. Thanks, Ross
