How to apply for extra maintenance loan after year started?

Hi everyone, I had budgeted for the year and figured out I had enough money for rent + general living from my job and the lower minimum maintenance loan amount, with a decent amount as a safety net.

But after my course started and after my first payment my old computer decided to break, and I need a computer for my work so had to spend a lot on a new one (was due an upgrade anyway).

But basically with that payment I am now pretty close to my limit for the year so was wondering if it is at all possible to get in contact with SFE to apply for the extra amount after the year has started and if this would be accepted under the change of circumstances.

Thanks a lot, any feedback would be useful

Hi there,

Can you confirm when your course started? Are you under 25? How much have you been awarded currently?

Thanks,

Hi antivebeacon,

Do you know if your maintenance loan has been income assessed based on your household income yet? Have your parents provided their income details in support of your application?

Thanks,

Nope, I had originally applied for more, but didn't enter one of my parents figures to get put onto the minimum value instead after I had originally thought I'd be fine.
