If you are receiving child benefit for them and they do not have their own income, yes I would. Not entirely sure what the likelihood of you getting paid for them though tbh. I would try anyway, or maybe contact hem directly and ask?


The means tested part of the loan would not be applicable if you are receiving a bursary. You are only eligible for the standard amount (around £2,500)


No, you are not dumb at all, it is very confusing and it seems different areas have different criteria too. Having done the bursary and student loan forms twice, I can say it doesn't get alot easier with practice!
