Hi so in my first year on my maintenance loan it came up on one figure at £8000ish, I've re applied as i am now not living at home and i have put that i am living in student accomodation for my second year and i have recieved two figures. £3,928 for the maintenance fee which is the bare minimum that is given to everybody, but also a higher amount of maintenance fee which says 'Up to £4,502'. Does this mean that i can only get up to $4,502 in total or do i have to wait for my application to be looked at and my parents financials to be assessed?
Also will my chances of getting the full maintenance fee be effected as i don't think my course is over the 30 weeks and 3 days.
I feel like i am overthinking it all but my friends doing the same course who i am moving in with next year all have one figure and no signs of this 'Higher amount of student finance'
