About to be made redundant

crispypie

Hi,

I have searched through but not been able to find an answer to this particular situation. My son is (hopefully) going to Aberystwyth this year and I have to fill the Student Finance forms. As discussed I know I need to supply my last years P60 for the means tested portion but I am currently going through redundancy and although I have a high chance of keeping a job it will be with a 10% pay cut and serveral other benefits removed that will require me making up the costs.

Do I fill the forms out as if nothing is happenening then go for a change of circumstances or is there a way to include this in the original application?

I hope that makes sense as I'm under a lot of pressure at the moment. Thanks in advance.

If there is a 15% change in your income you can be re-assessed on more up to date income

Hey, I'm also going to Aber in September
Your son has probably already heard about it but just in case there is a really good group on facebook called Aberystwyth University Applicants 2011. There are staff from the uni who answer any questions, I've found them really helpful especially with accomodation stuff
