Student Finance

[Suetheramble]

My daughter left school 6 years ago. She has worked for pretty much all of the 6 years since; living away from home for some of the time.
She has now been accepted at university and applied for student finance.
I have received an email requesting my financial details.I would have thought she was independent buy now.
Is there a time limit - if I should decide on going to university would my 90 old mother be question about her finances - where the deadline?

The Gov website says this, which suggests it's until 25:

What income is assessed
Your parents’ income is assessed if you’re under 25 and depend on them financially. Your partner’s income is assessed if you’re over 25 and living with them.

Earned and unearned income (eg benefits, pension or investments) for a certain tax year will be assessed. The tax year chosen will depend on the academic year you’re applying for.

I'd give them a call for help and advice:

Telephone: [phone]
Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm

And remember, although it's called a student loan, she only needs to make repayments when her income reaches a certain figure. Most students will never have to repay the whole amount and some never have to repay a penny.
