Hi Sehrish, are you not the student? As the adult dependant grant is for an adult who is dependant financially on you. Do you no longer have a depending adult? Thanks, Jason

I depend on my husband and he has supported my application. But I got a job last week but it’s a temporary job for 6 months, they will decide at the end of probation period that they will hire me or not. My application for next year is already approved on husband income.

Hi.

You wouldn't be eligible for the Adult Dependent Grant if you're the student and dependent on your Husband. We'd use his income to make you eligible for the Higher rate of Maintenance Loan.
