Jinnytee, you said you were assessed as being ineligible- who did you contact about that? Student Finance or the NHS?
Dapto- it sounds to me that you would be eligible. I read all the info on the eligibility link also, and you seem to fit the criteria for qualifying, so I really hope thats the case. Its one thing to apply knowing up front that you have to pay fees, like me, but Oh Boy, what a blow it would be for you.
I was assessed directly through the universities when I applied. I was sent forms for assessing fee status, presumably because the UCAS application info gave clear indication that I was living overseas.
Also, what did your offer letters state ? Mine all said that I had been offered a place and stated that I had been assessed as an overseas student regarding fees.
Hope you get through with a decision soon ...... this must be worse than when you were waiting for offer replies.
