student loan and maternity allowance

[mumj18]

I've applied for college for September and have applied for a student loan.
I'm due my second baby in July and will be receiving maternity allowance.
Does anyone know how this affects student loads/bursaries?
Also I know they take previous years income into consideration so does that mean the mat allowance wont actually affect me till next years student loan etc? xx

Maternity allowance will have nothing to do with you loans, debts etc. It will be based on your national Insurance contrubutions during their test period. So as long as you were paying NI contrubutions then you will get MA. If you were, i.e. working can you not get SMP?
