Maintenance Loan

I am currently studying to be a primary teacher. For the last few years, I have been given the minimum for my maintenance loan despite being on low income and providing evidence of this. Every year I have had to appeal the amount to get the correct amount. Any Ideas as to why this keeps on happening? Also does anyone have any contact details to appeal it?

Hi there,

Can you please tell us if you're under 25 years old? If you are, are you married or living with a partner right now?

Thanks, Graeme

Hi there,

Did you apply for the higher rate of Maintenance Loan and did we email your mum to support your application? Do you know if she did support your application?

Thanks, Drew

Hi Drew,
I believe that I applied for the full maintenance loan and asked my mum to support my application

Hi Stephen, She sent off her financial information on 5th September but my entitlement was not updated after this.

Thank you. If this is the case we would have processed these details by now. Since then, have you or your mother received any emails asking for any further documents at all? Thanks again, David
