How long to approve student finance?

how long did it take you to find out if you were approved for student finance?

It varies depending upon what evidence you have been required to submit. Current timescales are posted on the following page:

On the topic of proof of evidence , do they give you a deadline to send off evidences as I’m told to provide evidences but I may need a month to send it off as I’m waiting for my p60s. Also for my previous job, I’ve lost all my payslips as they were sent from letter. Am I allowed to show income tax history from HMRC app as it has all the payments I’ve received in my old job
