Haven’t done this for a few years but pretty sure it hasn’t changed
It’s parent means tested- there was a portal where parents filled in their income/ monetary details etc
As our household income on both occasions was below £43k both my 2 received full student loans for tuition and accommodation
If it’s your 1st at uni they used to get a ‘free’ bursary too - I think around £1.5k
Both mine are ‘working their way’ through their £50k debt
I’m sure someone with newer knowledge will have some better input- good luck
