Maintenance loan for pre settle status EU student?

Hello!

I read the "New eligibility rules of student finance
for the 2021/22 academic year" https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/956894/New_eligibility_rules_for_home_fee_status_and_student_finance_for_the_2021_to_2022_academic_year.pdf

I have pre-settle status and I have an EEA nationality (I am Italian).

Considering the following statement:

"The SLC will award tuition fee and maintenance support to EEA and Swiss workers, and
their family members, where the student has pre-settled status and 3 years’ residency in
the UK, Gibraltar, EEA and Switzerland." (page 5)

Will I be eligible for a maintenance loan since I have residency in EEA since all my life?

If not, what does maintenance support means?

Thank you

Hello,
ok, so what maintenance support means and what if I work? what are the exact requisites?

Can you share the link to apply for maintenance support as I am a wife to an EU National. I am also working at the moment

Hi, with pre settled status you can only apply for the Tuition Fee Loan. You can't receive a Maintenance Loan unless you work while you study or until you are awarded settled status.
Thanks, Isaac

On Gov website it clearly says that YOU CANNOT get any maintenance loan unless you have settled status. No ifs not buts. So why are you guys creating so much confusion by saying that you actually can get Maintenance loan with pre settled status as long as you work???

Hi there,

Just to clarify, if you have Pre-Settled Status and work while you study you can apply as a Migrant Worker. If accepted you'll be awarded the Maintenance Loan. We're looking to get the website updated to show this more clearly.

If you'd like to know more about applying as a Migrant Worker feel free to ask us.

Thanks, Graeme

Hello Graeme,

What kind of evidence do I need to send them specifically?
