When do I receive my Maintenance Loan/Grant?

Hi all,

I sent my finance off a good few weeks back and I'm fairly sure it's been successful. I'm wondering though when do I actually receive the Maintenance money? Is there a section online I can look up? Or do I need to call them and find out? I ask as I need it to pay rent/deposit, I could get an overdraft but nonetheless would be massively helpful to know when I can expect payment (or just when the minimum amount will come through as I did apply for income-assessed loan/grant).

Thanks!

A few days into freshers apparently

Is there anyway (other than phoning up) to find out for sure? Freshers occurs between mid-September to mid-October for different people, so that leaves a lot of room for guesswork really. Unless it's their policy to give the loans etc when a student precisely starts the course (e.g. they're informed that the student has started by the uni, and so send the money)?

You should have received a letter by now which tells you your payment schedule, have you received your declaration letter yet?

Hi,

The only thing I've received is an email the other day telling me that my finance is being assessed. I did apply roughly around early August, which is past the deadline, but I've not yet received any letters.

May I ask what the declaration letter is?
