5th year medicine Student loan

Hi,
I’m going into my 5th year of medicine next year and I’m confused about what loans I’d be eligible to receive.
I know that you don’t get a student finance maintenance loan like you do in other years, however would I be eligible to the nhs non means tested bursary, nhs means tested bursary and the reduced rate student finance maintenance loan all at the same time? I think I read somewhere that if you take the non means tested nhs bursary you cant also take the reduced rate student finance maintenance loan

Do you use Student Finance England? Is this your first degree? I really recommend starting a thread here at 'Ask Student Finance': https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=910

Websites to be looking at:

This is taken from the third link:
"4.2 NHS bursaries

If you’re eligible to apply for NHS bursaries that depend on your household income, and you meet the student finance eligibility requirements, you can apply for a reduced rate Maintenance Loan that doesn’t depend on your household income. If you’re eligible to apply for NHS bursaries that don’t depend on household income you can’t apply for student finance from us. You can get more information about NHS bursaries by visiting www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/students or calling 0300 330 1345."
