Mature Student with 2 dependants (financial)

It does say how much hoochi - it is up to £175pw for one child. Get them to send out the c/care grant application and it comes with a uber handy book with all the finer details and much more. Rough maths of the top of my head, your cost per week might be 200+, well you would get the 175max and the rest would have to come out of your pocket. If cost is less you would get 85% of that and once again cover the deficit.

The money is paid to you in advance IIRC

ADG can be claimed if the adult in question is financially dependent on the student.

Hi there

I am a single parent of a child aged 8 and have been at uni full time for three years I am exempt from paying council tax until qualify you could look into this you need an exemption certificate from the uni when you start then give it in to council tax benefit people hope this helps.

I can't see it mentioned here, but you may find that your university has a bursary scheme as well. Mine was means tested and we received an extra £1000 in February. Every bit helps.

Good Luck
