HI
We are in the process of my daughter's student finance application but I am stuck!
My daughter lives with me and my partner. I have submitted my financial information and my partner is just in the process of doing his. However, we have got to the part where it asks for his dependants. It just asks for his children, it doesn't specify whether we should only list children who live with us.
I am confused, his two children live with their mother but he pays maintenance for them. He thinks he should put his two children on the application as it simply asks for his dependants, it does not specify only if they live with us. I phoned student finance helpline to clarify but the guy I spoke to was unsure so had to put me on hold and ask. He came back on the line to say not to include them but I wasn't overly confident in his answer, he didn't sound like he really knew. Surely this scenario must crop up all the time?
Could anyone tell me whether we should put his two children on the application or not as they don't live with us full time even though they are largely financially dependant on him.
Many thanks
