section_headers: If my placement is delayed what impact will this have on my student finance?
section_content: If your current academic year gets extended, meaning your course lasts longer
than 30 weeks and 3 days, we will assess you for what we call a ‘Long Courses
Loan’.
The Long Courses Loan is part of the Maintenance Loan so to be eligible, you
must be getting the extra Maintenance Loan that depends on your household
income.
Your university or college will have to tell us about this extension before we
can assess you for the Long Courses Loan.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer talks about loan extension and not the initial question
This does not answer the question. The question is asking for information on how lost of job affects student finance, however, this answer provides information on Long Courses Loan.

2019/20 Academic year
section_content: If your student finance has already been calculated for 2019/20 using the CYI
process, we may need to contact your parent(s) or partner for financial
evidence for the 2019/20 tax year. In this case, we’ll get in touch with them
in late 2020. If their income is different to what they estimated previously,
your student finance will have to be recalculated.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer gives bare bone answer to the question. It does not give very much information on how it might affect finances.

Answer passage (source: UK):

section_headers: My parent/partner has recently lost their job. How will this affect my student finance?
section_content: Some student finance is based on your household income so we’ll need financial
details from your parent(s) or partner to calculate how much funding you can
get. However, we understand that financial circumstances can change and we
have a process in place to help with that. This process makes sure you won’t
lose out on any student finance you’re entitled to.
During the student finance application process your parent(s)/partner will be
asked to provide financial details from a previous tax year. If they’ve lost
their job and are not earning as much now as they did then, we can look at
your application based on their ‘Current Year Income (CYI)’. But this can only
be done after they’ve given us the details of the previous tax year.
There are different rules for the CYI process depending on where you live in
the UK and also the type of student finance you’re applying for – to find out
the specific rules that apply to you go to the relevant website:

Student Finance England
Student Finance Wales
Student Finance Northern Ireland
