Long shot but desperate - student loans and trust question

I have googled and am none the wiser. Does anyone possibly know what the law is on this.

If someone has a personal injury trust, is this taken into consideration when calculating how much they are able to apply for?

Can't find reliable info on Google. Phoning is a nightmare and slf don't appear to have an email any more.

Are they receiving an income from the trust?

They get £360 a month allowance but the trust also directly pays for things eg their car.
