Advice for mature student needed!

Options
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!!!
