It wasn’t a drastic difference or anything. I attend college in NYC and so my tuition and fees are basically paid in full and I am given the remainder of the Pell that is unused for my own expenses such as books and transportation, etc. My EFC was adjusted to 0618, I think, so I would be receiving $815 in pocket Pell money rather than $1315~ had my sister been included in the HH. I’ve gotten used to receiving the full Pell for my first four semesters of college but seeing as how my mom did not claim my sister and grandmother for 2011 as she had done before this caused things to change, and the rules for this kind of stuff is always being adjusted yearly so. It’s definitely no biggie, but that extra cash really does come a long way for me throughout the semester for my expenses. I’m grateful and fortunate to be getting any aid, regardless.

Thank you for letting me know about your D, it seems I’m out of luck in this situation!
