SUSI maintenance grant stopped

    Just wondering has anyone ever experienced a situation similar to mine or know of anyone who has. I was classed as dependent mature student with susi for the past two years as I lived at my family home. I have just got a place of my own to rent with my child. I informed susi of my change of address to be told I don’t qualify for the maintenance grant as my parents income is over the threshold even though I will no longer be living with them and I get my own social welfare payment, (which is completely disregarded in their assessment) my parents income has not had anything to do with me in years. They told me I can’t redefine my student class to independent unless I take a three break in studies which is ridiculous when I am due to finish in less time!

    Can anyone offer some perspective on this please?
