Details
Are you eligible to apply for a Current Year Income (CYI) assessment for 2024/25?
To get a CYI assessment for the 2024/25 academic year, you must already have supported your child or partner’s student finance application by providing your income details for the 2022-23 tax year.
You will qualify for an assessment if your household income for the 2024-25 tax year was:
- at least 15% lower than it was in 2022-23
- less than £58,307
If your household income in 2024-25 was more than £58,307 a year but less than £70,098 a year, you may still qualify depending on the student’s circumstances.
If your income was £25,000 or less
If your income was £25,000 or less for the 2022-23 tax year, the student may already be receiving the full amount they’re entitled to. You might still be able to apply for an assessment using your details from the 2024-25 tax year if the student needs it to get:
- a bursary or scholarship from a university or college
- extra student finance for children or dependent adults
How to apply
Usually for a CYI assessment, we would ask you for an estimate of your household income for the 2024-25 tax year using the Current Year Income Assessment form. However, because that tax year has already ended, you can skip the estimates form and just tell us what your actual household income was using the Financial Information Confirmation Form (PR2) instead.
To request a CYI assessment, you need to:
- download and complete the Financial Information Confirmation Form (PR2) on this page
- send us evidence of your household income, the form will explain what types of evidence we can accept
