    Yes. You need to apply for each year?

    If you wish to change your recommendations then yes you need to contact somebody...I would first contact Student Finance and ask them who the relevant person would be to deal with the request. I would assume you'd have to book a new study needs assessment.

    Hey, yes you do need to reapply as otherwise they won't pay you back for the transport bit. There are 2 forms - make sure you send the right one, as I was part-time and sent in the short form - it took them 6 months just to write to me and say I needed the other one!
    If you don't need any changes, it all just goes through normally.
