Household income, student finance

I applied for student finance last year nov/dec and have been paid twice but recently reviewed it again and realised what I’m being paid is the minimum not based on household income even though the evidence I sent contained my parent’s statement and pay slip. I did apply as child of a migrant worker but how can I rectify this to receive the full amount based on my household income? And is it possible since there is only one payment left?

Hi there,

Did you request originally the household income to be used to get the maximum? if you're unsure you can contact us on live chat in your account to check this.

Thanks,

No I didn’t as I applied as child of migrant worker, but I thought my household income would also be assessed

Hi caenic274,

You would need to upload the 'Include household income' form to your account for your application to be income assessed. Our current processing timescales are approximately 15 working days with subject to change depending on our current volumes.
