hi i applied for the maintained grant last year and loan and received two texts separately and an interim payment ,i still dont understand what that was ,but was told id receive the same amount this year ,and i think it was on my sfe but canst see it now. i applied for the full maximum loan and grant ,do you know if ds or sfe carries this over and receive the full amount this year i have applied and got all of my paperwork in and they said they had mu pip letter. I have to find rent and deposit my course started on October 1st this year , this year ,,.i wasnt aware that i could apply for maintnce loan in the first year of study and the systme wouldnt let me do it so i didnt bother and when i asked for backdated it was too late as it was after the 9 monthes.
