Hi Vanesa, was it a PN1 form you completed and had you sent this via post or did you apply through your account? Thanks, Jason

Was your original application by sending off a pdf/printed form (regardless of your parents bit) or was it through your account?

Thank you. When you originally applied was this online? Also, for all future queries if you can leave them in here. I've responded to your other threads advising the same to avoid any confusion. Thanks, Jason

We can't accept PN1 forms digitally uploaded. If you originally applied online and submit an application via the online steps and have since sent a PFF2 form then this will go to be processed accordingly. Is that what you have done? Thanks, Jason

Sorry Vanesa, to clarify, did you originally apply online when you made your application for the fees? If so, we don't need the application sent again. It's only if the full application was uploaded digitally. If it's just the maintenance loan request form and PFF2 that were uploaded then this is acceptable. Did you also complete the household income form located here: https://media.slc.co.uk/sfe/2425/ft/sfe_nmt_to_mt_form_2425_o.pdf if not then do upload this as well. If you have, then just monitor your account for this updating within an estimated 22 working days of it being received. Thanks, Jason
