The person who countersigns your form must be employed in a certain profession - see 'Who can sign your Birth or Adoption Certificate form' for the list of acceptable professions.

Parents and partners

If you're a parent or a partner you can submit your financial details for the 2010-11 tax year online. If you can’t do this online, contact Student Finance England.

If your household income has dropped since 2010-11

Student finance applications for 2012/13 are assessed on household income for the 2010-11 tax year.

If your household income has dropped by at least 15% (or by £1,000 if you're a part-time student) you can give your most up-to-date financial information by completing a 'Current year income assessment form’ (CYI form).

Please note, if you intend to complete a CYI form you must also give your 2010-11 tax year information as part of the student's application.

Disabled students

You may get Disabled Students’ Allowances if you have a disability, ongoing health condition, mental-health condition or specific learning difficulty like dyslexia.

If you’re applying for full-time student finance and Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs) please complete the ‘application form for Disabled Students' Allowances – short version’ (DSASL).

If you’re only applying for DSAs or you’re a part-time, postgraduate or distance learning student please complete the ‘application form for Disabled Students' Allowances – long version’ (DSA1F).

Students with children

If you're a full-time student you can apply for a Childcare Grant to help with childcare costs by completing form CCG1. You should complete the form after you've applied for student finance.

The Confirmation of childcare costs form (CCG2) will be available in October 2012.
