Student loan decrease

Hello,

I received a maintenance loan of £12,000 in 2017/2018. I have taken a year out of uni after finding out I was pregnant. I have since had my little girl so have reapplied for finance and my loan has decreased by £5000. Am I being cheeky in following this up with them?

I live with my husband but financially makes no money. We have lived off my earnings. And now with a little one it looks unlikely I could afford to go back to uni 😢

You can't possibly have been allocated a maintenance loan of £12,000 in 2017/2018 as the maximum was £11,002, and that's with living away from home in London!

Appologies, it was 2016/2017. 2017/2018 was the year I had out.

Ah, were you a Nursing/Midwifery student?

Veterinary nursing - so I don’t think I got anything additional / special funding. Has the loans dropped in general since my initial application in 2016?

Hi Sophie,

Has your husband provided he's income details to support your application or has there been any change in your husbands income? Are you returning to your studies at the same university or college?

Thanks,

Emma.
