I can't make sense of the logic with the forms this year; perhaps
someone could shed some light....

Son went up to uni last year (2008), and we filled in the parental
income assessment for his grant, which was submitted with a stack of
paperwork to prove we weren't telling porkies about our 2007/2008
income.

I expected the forms for the second year to ask for income for the
subsequent tax year, 2008/2009. But no, it asks /again/ for the
2007/8
tax year - for the very same figures they've already had. And the
phone
support at student finance is adamant this is what the counties
want -
"to show nothing has changed".


Clutching at straws - were any of your original figures admitted to be
estimates? Are they effectively now asking for estimates to become
actuals?
