SFE Migraint worker change to settle status.

Hello!

I’ve applied for student finance as a Migraint worker last October because I had pre-settle status at the time. They award me tuition fee and maintenance loan this month but they didn’t pay me the entire maintenance Loan I was supposed to get because I wasn’t working during September and October. I have received , 2 days ago, my settle status and I’m going to ask student finance to change my application to Home Student instead of Migraint worker. Can I ask for the rest of the maintenance loan to be paid to me now that I’m going to be home Student?

Hi there,

As your settled status was granted after the start of your 1st term then you would still not be eligible for the Maintenance Loan for term 1. Did you get the Maintenance Loan awarded for term 2 and 3 as you were then working?

Thanks, Drew

Yes. I was told that I was awarded less money because I wasn’t working in the beginning of the year. I didn’t realised that I didn’t got paid for an entire term because of not been working for a month and a half.

Hi there,

Yes if you were not working on before the 1st of September then you would not have been eligible for the Maintenance Loan for the 1st term.

Thanks, Drew

Thanks Drew!

In my situation, I was working before 1st of September. I was out of the country for the entire September month so I had quit my job at the time, I then started a new job around 16th of October. Do I still don’t qualify to get paid for the first term in this situation?
