Section 9 - nancial details for tax year 2019-20 for
parents and partners
Who needs to complete this section?
Section 8 of this form tells you who needs to complete this section.
What details do I need to provide in this section?
You need to tell us some personal details and what your financial income was for tax year
2019-20. You must tell us your 2019-20 income details as we cannot accept amounts from
any other tax year. We need your income amounts so we can work out what the student(s)
you are supporting is entitled to.
To find out how we’ll use the information you provide go to
www.studentfinanceni.co.uk/privacy-notice to read our Privacy Notice before completing
this form.
About this section
Section 9 is split into five parts:
Part A - Tell us your name and address and some other personal information.
Parts B and C - Answer every question.
Part D - Answer every question and tell us about any income deductions for tax year
2019-20 where appropriate.
Part E - Tell us about any children who are financially dependent on you.
How to complete this section
If you are a single parent of the student
Enter your information as Person 1, leave Person 2 blank.
If there are two parents, or a parent and a partner, in the student’s household
Complete this section with information for both Person 1 and Person 2.
If you are an independent student with a partner
Your partner needs to enter their information as Person 1, leave Person 2 blank
If you’re self assessed – read page 13 of the notes for more information.
If you’re not self assessed – you can use your P60 to complete this section.
What happens if my household income has dropped since tax year
2019-20?
If your household income has dropped by 5% or more since tax year 2019-20 you can apply
for a ‘Current Year Income Assessment’.
This means we would use your expected income for tax year 2021-22 instead of your actual
income from tax year 2019-20 when calculating the student’s entitlement. However, there
must be at least a 5% drop in the overall household income (not just your own income)
between these two tax years for us to do this and we will ask for evidence of your 2021-22
income at the end of that tax year.
