Partner not supporting

2

I am an undergraduate student with two children. I have been receiving a childcare grant for one of my daughters while claiming as a single parent. Now that my partner and I have decided to live together again in May, I want to update my application to include my second child.

However, my partner has stated that she will not support my application. I plan to change my status from 'single' to 'living with a partner' once we move in together. Will this affect my maintenance loan and childcare grant? Partner

supporting your application doesn't mean they're obligated to pay anything - it just means they provide their income information so that SFE can do a household income assessment. If they don't disclose their income information SFE will assume that they're wealthy and that you aren't eligible to any loans above the basic amounts.
