NHS bursary and Student Finance loan clash =S HELP!

Hi,

My name is Georgia and I was hoping to get some advice please =]

This is really for students on NHS funded courses at uni but if anyone else can help me that'd be great.

Here's my situation....

I've applied for Speech and language therapy and have two offers, a conditional from University of East Anglia (UEA) and an unconditional from Birmingham city (bcu). UEA is my first choice and I need a B in biology to get it.

I applied for student finance online and everything was going swimmingly until I saw that i'd missed out some evidence. One was my step dads signature which i've sent and the other was evidence that I have applied for an NHS bursary because I said that I am entitled to one. They want to know because how much of a bursary I get will probably reduce how much of a maintenance loan I get.... apparently.

My problem is I can't apply for a bursary until I have accepted an unconditional offer which I can't do until I have my Biology results and student finance have told me that the process will stop until i have my NHS bursary results.

Here's the kicker... when i phoned the NHS bursary enquires line they said that the amount of my bursary shouldn't effect the amount my loan is reduced by as it is automatically lowered by the fact that I have said I can get a bursary in my application.

I know this is really long and confusing but if anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

Georgia
