Student loan - household income increase

Options
Hi, my son is in his final year at Uni and is receiving his maintenance loan. Our household income may increase by around 10-15% due to a potential increase in my earnings. Do we have to declare this? Would it mean he has to pay back some of this year’s maintenance loan somehow? 

I can see lots of information about what to do if your income reduces by more than 15% (current year income assessment etc) but nothing specific about if it increases.

thank you

    No, his loan is based on last years income.
