Good morning,
I'm hoping that someone may be able to advise please...
My daughter is in her second year of uni and unable to apply for student loans as she is studying at home - the latter due to anxiety issues.
I am a single mum, my job was recently made redundant, I am on benefits and struggling to make ends meet and my marriage has ended.
Are there any grants or loans that my daughter might be able to get?
Thanks!

    I’ll move this to the Student Board.

    No reason not to apply for student loans, just because you are living at home. The maximum loan may be slightly lower, but you can still  apply for the maintenance loan and obviously the student fees loan in full.

    if your household income has dropped by more than 15% you can ask the student loan company to revise the parental contribution based on your new lower income.
