Maximum grant available 2012-2013? (for returning student)
Can anyone tell me what the maximum grant/loan combo (for incomes <25,000/year) should be for current students (i.e. not the new 2012 system) for the 2012-2013 year? I've just received my entitlement letter from SF and apparently I'm going to receive LESS money than I've been getting this year - by quite a considerable amount!
My mum's income has never been £25,000, not anywhere even close to that amount! So I just want to check that I am getting the full amount or student finance are going to have to answer to a very annoyed and confused guy on the phone!
EDIT: OK rang them up and it seems because I'm in the final year next year I automatically get less because they assume I'll get a job straight after May! The pressure's on it seems :/Last edited by cakefish; 19-04-2012 at 12:24.
