I am separated from my husband, have been for just over a year. I am also a student. When I reapplied for my loan student finance cut it in half, going from £7k a year to just over £3k. This doesn't even cover my rent.
They said it was because I needed proof that we have separated with a solicitors letter. I'm a student, I can't afford that!! Everywhere I looked was in the hundreds for this letter. I do work but I'm on very very low income and can just about cover bills and rent.
On the phone The student loan helper said to send everything I had. So I sent wage slips, proof of change of address, proof that I live in a student house, tenenancu agreement, literally everything I could think of. Apparently this wasn't enough and they would only accept a solicitors letter. Aibu to think that all of that should have been enough proof?
I'm really stuck over what to do now, ex h won't help because it doesn't benefit him in any way.
