When first applying for TAP, I had made a mistake on my form, where I said that my sister was my mother because they didn’t really have the guardianship title for TAP.

What I didn’t know is that if you do not live with your parents you can claim as legally independent, so they have me as dependent. I submitted a change form via mail and I gave a notarized letter accompanied with that change form saying that I live with my sister and that I get no financial support from my parents, and they didn’t change anything. They changed everything except for the parent income, which is preventing me from both getting my grades and registering for next semester. Paying for City University shouldn’t be my biggest stress.
