I'm so racked off with Student Finance England requesting the same information numerous times I'm tempted to withdraw my financial support for my daughters at university. Anybody know what would be the implication of this? Would they then receive the full maintenance loan?

No, of course not.

But they are not independent students, and the fact that the OP has been supporting them will scupper any attempt to claim that they are.

Just showing the OP what is required for her daughters to claim without her financial support .

I did assume she would be able to work out for herself that it was not appropriate for her daughters.

I do not understand this post.

You're annoyed at Student Finance England, so you want to withold money from your kids?

Why? Along the lines of 'this'll show them, now they have to give them more money?' Bizarre!
