Married student under 25

My son is going in to his final year of his undergraduate degree and has applied for Student Finance as a continuing student. He has recently married and has uploaded his marriage certificate to confirm his change in circumstances. His wife has not been asked to provide details of her income. He was informed over the telephone that she will not need to as he is under 25 and he will be classed as an independent student and receive the full maintenance loan without further means assessment. Any written guidance which we have read seems to suggest otherwise though. Any help please?
Hi Purdy358,

If your son is married we will need his wife's income details in order to income assess his application.

Thanks,
Calum
