pre settled and full support

2

I have pre settled status as a non-eu national (eu family member) and have been living in the uk for the past 4 years, studying here for the past 3 which means I would be paying home fees and be eligible for tuition fees.
my questions is am I eligible for maintenance loans as well? I received information saying I was eligible and then information saying I was not; the ukgov eligibility checker website has info that says I would be able to get full support

Hi there,

Normally, to be eligible for the Maintenance Loan you need to have Settled Status, or be working while you study.

Are you working at the moment? Do you know when you'll get Settled Status?

Thanks, Graeme

Hi there,

What nationality are you and how old are you? When exactly did you move to the UK? Does your EU family member have pre-settled or settled status?

Thanks, Drew

Hello,

My nationality is Brazilian and I just turned 20. I moved to the UK in December 2020 and my mother (EU family member) also has pre-settled status.

Sorry for the silly question but just want to make sure - does self employment count as working for the purpose of maintenance loan since it’s not a ‘fixed’ payslip from a company?

Yes, self employment would be classed as this. Thanks, Jason
