Parent supporting application Junior Sipp question

Options
As a parent I have to do a supporting application for my child for the student loan. One of the questions is something like "Do you contribute to any pension that isn't your workplace pension". I contribute to my kids junior SIPP but it wasn't clear if that was relevant or not. I added the amount of my contributions. Now the student loan company want evidence of my contributions on headed paper. The pension company refused to provide this because the kids are over 18 and they said to kids have to phone up to request it.

Anyway am I wasting my time with this? Are they just referring to your own pension in the supporting application?

     Yes they only want to know about pensions in your name.
