     Why would you enter expenses? Loans are based on income if they agree you are indeed estranged.

    In Wales, the total loan is the same. Parental income (or personal income if estranged) determines how much is a loan and how much is a grant.

    Student finance Wales will need to make a decision on whether you are estranged. There is a difference between nor being able to live at home and whether you are actually estranged. Either way, your total loan or grant will be the same.
