Changing maintenance loans

So I applied for the basic maintenance loan that isn’t income assessed on SFE a few weeks ago, the application has been approved now but now I’m thinking I want to get accommodation at uni instead of living at home. Is it possible to now apply for the full maintenance loan or is it too late once it’s approved and sorted?

Hi there. On your online account if you follow the steps here;

Change your application

Your loan amount(s)

Apply for a Maintenance Loan that's based on your household income

You will be given a form to request the application is based on the household income along with a "PFF2" form for your sponsor(s) to complete. You can then upload these online to be reviewed for the higher amount. Thanks, David
