Loan too small??

I applied for my finance late because I forgot. I just got the entitlement summary and it’s way less than last year as well as below the supposed minimum loan when i googled to see what the minimum loan is. Is this because I applied late I won’t get enough? What do I do

Hi there,

I do not believe that you would have got a smaller loan due to applying for it later this year. I applied for mine much earlier this year and received a reduced amount despite having the same living circumstances.

I'm so sorry to hear about your predicament and wish you the best of luck at university.

Hi yearow03,

This would only happen if you previously had an overpayment that is being removed or you have incorrectly applied for a placement year. Can you confirm the name of the course, university and year of entry?

Thanks, Clare
