Advice for mature student needed!

Steph-ambz

Hi

I'm currently on an access course, and I'm applying to university very shortly. I have a few questions, and I'm posting in here as I seem to be getting different information from different sources.

So I work part time 22 hrs a week. If I keep this up as a full time uni student, will it be included in my income assessed student finance application? My husband works full time but earns under £25000. We have two children.

I understand when I apply for student finance, my husbands earnings will be assessed but will mine? Also, am I right in thinking that our income will be assessed for the tax year 2015-2016? If this is the case, between us we were earning £46000 at that time, but now are on considerably less (now more like £30,000 including my wage)

I'm finding it all very confusing, money saving expert tells me something different to other websites. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

All household income is counted,

If you income will be 15% or more less than the previous year you ca ask for current year assessment.
