Student finance Change of where i live

Hi, so i originally applied for living at home in London and i already recieved the acceptance letter with maintenance loan however, i have decided to live at accomodation due to circumstances at home. As rent in London is a lot higher and i will not be able to live with the maintenance loan provided, how can i tell student finance this?

Hi there, you can change your living location on your online account. Follow the steps to change your university and there will be a section for living location. You can find out how to change this here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/student-finance-england-how-to-guide
Thanks, Karen

Will they increase my maintenance loan?

Hi there,

Yes, you're entitled to a higher rate of Maintenance Loan if you live away from home rather than with your parents.

Thanks, Graeme
