I worked in financial aid for many years. I understand the rules. I also understand why the concern posed by this particular student has nothing to do with the points you raise. This student has not been told by the school that there are any issues. The issue is purely dependency status, and it exists only in the mind of the student and only because the student does not understand the rules relating to age and dependency status. There is no need to throw things out just to show that you know other rules that are not related to the question at hand. Please do not make a mountain out of a molehill. I hope OP checks with their school so that they can be at ease.
