If you’re independent then your household income will be based on your own unearned income (trust funds, property etc) plus that of any spouse.
If you’re single and don’t have loads of savings/investments/trust funds etc then you’ll get the maximum loan because your household income will below the minimum threshold

Hi Lewania,
Yes, you will be awarded the maximum based on your own circumstances.
Thanks,
