Full time student single parent financial entitlement
I am a full time student midwife with two children.
Myself and my partner will be separating and I am finding it challenging to understand what financial help I would be entitled to.
We have a home that would need to sell as I could not take on the mortgage alone, so I will need to find rented accommodation.
I currently recieve student loan, maintenence loan and a parents allowance.
Can anyone offer any advice please?

If your household income has reduced due to the loss of you partner's income, contact your student finance body as you might be entitled to a higher maintenance loan.
The following website might be useful to see if you would be entitled to any benefits:

Do you study at a uni in England? Are you claiming the NHS LSF?

Thank you for your reply. Neither of us have actually moved out of the family home yet so I didn't think I'd be entitled to anymore maintenence loan yet.
I've tried that website but it just says it cannot provide me with accurate information due to me being a full time student 😒
