maintenance loan - household income amount

i have recently been offered a place to study at mmu starting in sep 2026, and have been trying to look into the amount i would get for my maintenance loan.
i'm currently 20 and have been working mostly full time for the last couple years. my parents are divorced, and i live only with my mum. of course once i start at uni, i will lose the income from my job, so i'm a little confused as to whether this needs to be included in the 'annual household income' amount when calculating for a maintenance loan. or do i only need to include my mum's income? i won't be receiving any financial help from family for the course, so just trying to work out what money i will be able to get.
thanks for any help :smile:

Hi nebulaxmoon,

As you are under 25, you would be considered dependent, therefore we would require your mothers income details only if she is a single person.

Thanks, Clare
