SGO student loan

Hiya, on my student finance application I put that I'm in a sgo order but thar I still live with my guardian

I was wondering how exactly does this affect my maintenance loan amount.

Hi there. Sorry, can you clarify what you mean by this? Did you indicate you are living on your own by mistake? Thanks, Leah.

The evidence required depends on what you put on the application. There is no specific option for SGO on there. These are the options:

•

Your parents cannot be found or it is not reasonably practicable to get in touch with them

You are irreconcilably estranged (have no contact with) from your parents and this will not change.

•

For any consecutive three month period ending after your 16th birthday and before the first day of the first academic year of your course you have been in the custody of, in legal care of, or have been given accommodation by a local authority but you have not been under the legal care of your parents.

•

Both your parents are deceased.

•

You have applied for student finance before, and the parent who provided their income details is deceased.

•

Your parents are living outside the UK, Gibraltar or EU and the assessment of their financial circumstances would place them in jeopardy.

•

Your parents are living outside the UK, Gibraltar or EU and it would not be reasonably practicable or possible for them to send you money.

Thanks, Leah.
