Student finance household income

Options
I am currently applying for student finance and I am wondering what I should put for my household income. Due to the coronavirus my parents incomes have both been decreased so should I put their normal income or should put there current income.

    For academic year 2020 to 21, we’ll usually look at your parents’ household income for the financial year 2018 to 19. But if your parents’ household income has dropped by more than 15%, they can ask us to look at their likely income for the current financial year

    You’re eligible for a CYI assessment if your current income is lower than the income details we’ve asked for by 15% or more.

    The student needs to have applied for student finance that’s based on your household income, and you need to have already provided your income details for the prior tax year
