I have been looking into the world of student finance I understand how it all works with the exception of a little question I have about the Maintenance grant. I understand that is on a decreasing scale according to household income. Can anybody confirm what years income the 2013 intake will be based on please? Also, my husband is self employed (and I work part-time) and in the year tax year 2011-2012 he had a 'one off' high income year that will not be repeated. If the grant is based on that year, is there any means of pointing out that our continued annual income will not be that high again? It seems very unfair to be penalised in this way if not [sceptical] Thank you
