Household Income Maintenance Questions

Hiya! I sent off forms recently for the maintenance fund based on household income. Will I told when they receive them and what their decision is? Will the difference also be paid to me once they process it? I was on the maximum basic fund but now looking for the max based on household income.

I also wonder if it would be paid as soon as a decision is made for a Adult Dependents Grant. I forgot to include it on the form I had sent, so plan to send another once the form I have sent off now has been processed.

Thank you!
Hi LucasCampbell,

What form did you send?

Hi Lucas. When did you send the form? Do you already have an approved Student Finance England application yes? Thanks, David

I sent the forms off 4 days ago, as my circumstances changed and I could no longer live on what I would receive. I already have an approved basic maintenance fund to be paid on 23rd.
Hi LucasCampbell,

We wouldn't contact you to inform you that we have received your form. If your entitlement changes you will be able to see this on your online account and a backdated payment will be made within 5 working days of the reassessment. This kind of form is currently taking around 29 working days to process if sent by post.

Thanks,
Calum

Thank you so much for the information!

If I want to claim for the Adult Dependents Grant during my year in university, receiving maintenance fund, could I send the proof by my online account or will it have to be sent by post?
Hi LucasCampbell,

You can send the application for the Adult Dependant Grant and supporting evidence through your online account, it doesn't need to be sent by post.

Thanks,
Calum
