Change of nation. Student loan. 21 November 2022 at 11:49AM in Student MoneySaving 1 reply 72 views

I wonder if anyone is able to answer this query.

My step daughter is resident in England and her father and I live in Wales. She is at university, in her second year. Her step dad has refused to include his details on her loan application meaning she has only received the bare minimum despite her mum being on a low income and unable to support her financially.  We do help her out financially, but not calculated according to expected contribution.

Does anyone know if it would be possible for her to make her next year's application with her father's address as her main residence?

Would she have to provide evidence that our home is her main residence? E.g. would she have to change her address with her bank, driving licence etc? Or is the fact that it's her dad's house enough?

Would the change in home nation (i.e. from england to wales) cause any potential issues?

Any advice gratefully received!

you'd also have to apply via student finance Wales, and from memory they'd expect to see your daughter on the electoral register and have other documentation at the Welsh address
