Exceptional circumstances and taking away mantinace laon please help

Hi, I have been told my compelling circumstances from 2022/2023 has been accepted and wil get funding for my 2023/2024. However my mantinance loan has all been clawed back due to getting it the previous year. This os going to put me in massive financial hardship as a single parent. Is there anything I can do?

Thank you.

Hi there,

You could apply for Financial Hardship with us to have the overpayment deferred for this academic year. You would need to complete the Financial Hardship form and this can be uploaded from your online account. You would also need to upload the last 3 months of your bank statements in your name only and you can also upload any other evidence that shows debts/obligations that you need to pay that may not be on your bank statements. Once received it can take 2-3 weeks to process.

Hi extl1,

As long as you have sent the PN1 form to be processed, the Financial Hardship team will still be able process the Financial Hardship application for you to have the overpayment pushed back to the end of the academic year.

Thank you, as I'm worried sick. I haven't slept properly for over a month as this has been so stressful for me. I already suffer with my mental health, and this has just made it so much worse, being In this situation.
Thanks for your advice, hopefully it will get processed as soon as possible.
