Hi @VIOLA992, you are only eligible for funding for the days you are working. Your funding will be pro rated which means you will receive less Maintenance Loan if you were not working some days. It sounds like you received the full loan and then the assessor realised you had gaps in your employment and therefore has caused the overpayment.
If you did have gaps then this will be correct and you won't be able to do anything about it. If you feel like you have been assessed incorrectly then you can follow the appeals procedure by clicking here.
Thanks, Isaac.
