Over 25 student applying for student finance for post graduate medicine
Hi,
I am currently 25 and have had an undergraduate loan and a postgraduate. I am now applying for another undergraduate loan for post graduate medicine and need some advice on household income question for maintenance loan (I am aware I will only get 2/3 of tuition loan and need to pay out of pocket for 1/3, at least in the first year). I currently live at home and have a job with an income, but come September when I start the course I will not have the job and will be back living in student digs as the uni is in a different city. What do I put for household income - as an over 25 student with no job as of August can I put £0?
Thanks in advance.
