Student finance help

hi, i looked over my student finance and am confused.
I get the maximum maintenance loan which is 9,672.

My letter says
Maintenance loan - 11,144
Of which the special support element equals 4,372

but 9672 (maintenance loan) + 4,372 (special support grant) doesn't equal 11,144 ?

I am very confused how these numbers add up, have they not given me the maximum maintenance loan or am i mistaken?

Thanks,
Emily.

Hi Emily, sorry for the confusion it's not the two amounts together. The letter just confirms how much of the amount you've been awarded is made up of the special support loan. So the entitlement letter would be correct. Thanks, Jason
