Student finance

I currently work and receive UC however when i start university in sep 26 i will not be working or receiving UC as i hopefully will be getting maintenance loan.
My question is when i apply for student finance what do i put in as my income. What i earn now or what i will earn? As im worried i will be awarded a lower amount if they think my income is the same aa it was before i started uni.
I hope that makes sense

The only income you need to declare is any savings interest, share dividends, etc. Your income from employment or UC is not included in a calculation of household income.

If you live with a partner, or if you are under 25 and living with parents, then the following explains what is required:

Hello i live on my own, have 2 dependant children.
I do not have any savings, trust funds, or anything like that so would i put 0.
Do i include child benefit or DLA that i receive for my youngest?
