Maintance Loan

Hey,
I hope you are all well,
I have a few questions that I’m a bit confused about. Firstly, I can see on my login portal that my application has been approved and that the payments have been scheduled. However, I’ve also received an email stating that I need to submit more evidence. Secondly, I qualify as a student independent because I’ve been supporting myself for three years.
Nevertheless, I only received approval for half of the maintenance loan. I live and study in London, and to be fair, I applied a bit late since my course starts in November and I applied in December. Could this be the reason why, as I applied for the maximum amount, I only received half?
Thank you.

Yes it is regarding my 3 years support, I am missing 9 months,sorry but what do you mean by the awarded the basis amount.

Hi Claire,
Oh, I see! I’m so sorry. I just read about how everything actually works. I’ve submitted a HMRC document showing my earnings for a year and some payslips that aren’t included in the HMRC document. Hopefully, that’s enough.
So, I’m guessing if I end up being qualified as an independent student, I’ll receive the rest of my loan in the following payments, right?
Thanks,
