Student loan help for an awkward family situation My "father" has been absent for my half of my life but my mother never divorced him. This has led to me receiving the minimum amount of maintenance loan despite my mother barely earning above the taxable income threshold as my overall household income is high due to my father (the only recent contact I've had with him is to get him to fill out these forms).

This has put me in a situation where I'm completely unable to afford rent or living costs next year. I've been stressed to shit applying to jobs that don't get back to me and I just feel kinda lost. I don't think I'm eligible for my university bursary either as that's dependent on household income

I'd be grateful if I can get any suggestions on this!
