How will parent emigrating affect student finance application?

I will start at Uni in Sept 2024. My single parent mum will have to complete a PFF2 form as her 2023-24 income (£14,363) is 15% less than 2022-23 (£16,645).

She will be emigrating in October 2024 and her last pay day is 31 August 2024. She will not have any income until she obtains a visa. Should she complete another PFF2 form when she leaves work in August or wait until year 2 application ?

I will not be estranged but will effectively be homeless as I will not have anywhere to go home to and anticipate arranging to stay at university in the holidays, unless staying with friends occasionally.

Could you tell me whether she needs to keep updating student finance of her changes in circumstance ?
Many thanks

Hi there,

She would need to do a PFF2 form to provide her financial details for the 22/23 tax year. After this, she can also do a Current Year Income (CYI) form to provide estimations for what she'll earn for the current tax year and we'd base the Maintenance Loan off the estimations. Both the forms can be located here Support your child or partner’s student finance application 2024 to 2025 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Thanks, Ross
