Migrant worker status

Hi I am going to start studying on October this year. I just got my letter saying that I will get maintenance loan because I am migrant worker. But the question is if I shouldn't be assessed as UK student, because I have been living and working in UK since October 2014, and I heard that after 3 years they assess you like UK student even if you are not British. Is it true ?

And another thing If I will be assessed as migrant worker and I will lose my job about November this year, from not my fault, just my position will be terminated (I am at risk of redundancy) will I lose my maintenance loan if I won't find new job straight away ?

Thanks in advance for the answer.

Hi Dom56,

To qualify for Higher Education support, a UK national must meet the following residency requirements:

•

Ordinarily resident in the UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man for the 3 years immediately before the 1st day of the 1st academic year of their course

•

Ordinarily resident in England on the 1st day of the 1st academic year of their course.

•

Settled under the terms of Immigration Act 1971 (and not subject to any restrictions on the period for which they may stay).

EU Nationals can receive support as a home student if they:

•

Are ordinarily resident in England on the first day of the first academic year of the course

•

Have 5 years residency in the UK

Thanks
Claire
