taking a NHS LSF without maintanance loan. Evidence required?

so I'm taking the NHS LSF without a maintenance loan. but I've taken a tuition loan.
it says: To assess your application, we need to see the full Student Finance letter showing you were assessed for a Maintenance Loan, even if this is £0.00.
Do I apply for a maintenance loan for 0.00?

I think it's worth emailing NHS LSF to ask about this as they do make exceptions depending on your reasons for not taking a loan. They were quick to respond when my daughter had a query.

Sorry for the late reply,
it took a few tries but they did respond and it worked out in the end.

They told me to:
Please upload a covering letter explaining why you are not in receipt of the maintenance loan as evidence to your Training Grant application to complete your online application.

I applied for NHS LSF without SFE approval, I just wrote in my letter that I personally did not want to add to my loan and go on to have 2 repayment plans. This is when I didnt apply for tuition or maintenance loan and it still got accepted, so I think that was a good enough reason.
Yeah, you'll need to apply for the maintenance loan and submit it with your NHS LFS application.
