namechanged,regular.
ds has the opportunity to apply for some additional help re university, based on various critera. he fits all of them bar 'neither parent has been to university' (it's to do with widened participation)
neither me or his (completely absent, non supportive in any way shape or form ever) father went to uni. however my new partner did.
there isn't anywhere on the form to say that my partner is not his dad and has only moved in fairly recently (in the scheme of things) it asks for the occupation of the main wage earner (he is n ot working in a professional career now and has a low wage. so, wibu to not mention that my (relatively new although hopefully permanent) partner has a degree.
I don't feel comfortable lying, I don't feel comfortable missing out on his opportunity because when ds was 13 I met someone else. I've looked at the ways round it and there isn't one (on the form)
wwyd. I suspect he'd be rejected right off if they knew dp had a degree in the initial 'sift' iyswim.
Awaits flaming.
