Moving back home after estrangement loan

Recently I had to leave home and have been receiving the full estrangement loan from SFE. I am still not living at home, but am hoping to eventually try to reconcile with my parents.

If I were to move back home at any point, would I have to immediately pay back the money I received this year? I am worried because the money has gone towards paying my rent, paying off my overdraft and paying for food/transport etc. If they were to ask my to pay back the full student loan straight away, I would have to drop out of uni.

So would they just change my student loan for next year back to the 'living at home' amount, or would I have a huge amount to pay back right away?

I hope this makes sense!

Hi there. Are you going to be moving back with your parents within this current Academic Year or would you be returning to them for the next year of your course? Thanks, David
