Hi, I applied to SFE a couple of months ago and asked for the extra maintenance loan amount. But when my husband submitted his income details, the amount changed to £4054. I have since submitted a form again asking for the higher amount. My husband earns £22k a year, so I am not sure of any reason why it is showing as this amount as applied for as I thought the threshold was stepped for people earning over £25K. I was working part-time when I applied but I am not anymore as I will not be able to work these hours when I start uni, and I need a break before I start. I'm worried that this is what I will get and it won't be enough.
Also, does this get paid in automatically as soon as the application is processed, or is it a set date? Thanks.
