Hi,

It looks like I may stop work in the near future and will be supported by my partner.

I still have an outstanding balance on my SL. In recent months my repayments have stopped as the threshold was raised just above my annual salary.

The query I have is, what happens if I stop work? Will I be chased for payments or will it just sit there, accruing interest until I reach 65? (I'm on Plan 1) I won't have an actual salaried income anymore but will be supported by my other half.
