Will my Change of Circumstances arrive on Saturday?

I am due to send my change of circumstances tomorrow via Royal Mail 1st Class Signed.

Will anyone be at the SFE office to accept the letter on Saturday? Or will it not get there till Monday?

Also, I am due to start my degree course on the 1st of March - will I not get paid till the following week due to the processing times.

Hi, you should of just uploaded it in your online account as it's faster.

An SFE CO1 form currently takes 4 working days to process. It's very fast.
Thanks, Isaac

I start my degree course on the 1st of March and I want to move into my University accommodation on the 3rd of April ready for my hospital placements. Meaning I'll be at home for a month.

How will this work in terms of payments? I'm entitled to the full amount (Nursing student living with parents) BUT I'm wondering whether my first instalment of the maintenance loan will be higher than what it is already or will it be the same?

My term address at the university is currently my home address and I don't plan on changing this till the 3rd of April so that I don't miss further correspondences. Will this be a problem when assessing my Change of circumstances?

Many thanks

If you originally applied as not living with your parents then on your change of circumstance form you should state you are living with your parents in term 1 so the correct funding can be awarded. This may mean you receive less finance in the first term.
Thanks, Isaac

I originally applied on the basis that I'm living with my parents, however, I'll be moving away at the beginning of April. So I'd only be at home a month into my course. So does this mean I will be entitled to the same amount

Also, can I upload the CO1 form via the "sending documents and forms" section on SFE website as when I try and click "change my application" it assumes I've already started my course and I need to send it to the address.

Your finance will increase if you state you will no longer be living with parents. You will receive more funding if you state you are living elsewhere from the 1st April.
