why can i not apply mantainance loan online

Hi Zentor,
Have you been approved for a tuition fee loan already?
Thanks,
Calum

Thanks for the reply David, so do i count as eu student and not uk student if i have settled status and soanish nationality? what documents do i send in with pn1 form? original documents and my dad income payslips?
also, before sending the pn1 form do i have to inform stydent finance ? how will i get an update?

You would be applying as a home student on the PN1 form. If you now have settled status we only require the share code with this form, we do not need evidence of your employment. Thanks, David

PN1 is a new student application which is what we require if you are changing from EU to SFE funding as you are. We do not need payslips. Once you apply, if you request the income assessed amount, your parents would be notified and asked to provide their income details to support your application. Thanks, David

so if i have been receiving tuiton loan as a home student during year 1 and 2 i still fill the pn1? thanks, just this is confusing

like for example, i do have an sfe account online and it shows all tuiton laon details

Hi there,
Yes, that's correct - when you apply for the Maintenance Loan for the first time the Pn1 is the right form to use, rest assured.
Thanks, Graeme

Hi im filling the form right now, from what i had understood, i am elegible for mantainance loan.
i had been for 3 years before my uni started. i got my settled status during my first year. I had tuiton loan for first and second year and third.
but thus part of section 3 is confuising me:
a19, a20 & a21
Long residency
You must have been living in the UK and Islands legally for the three years prior to the first day of the first academic year of your course.
You must have held a form of leave to remain in the UK issued by the Home Office during that time. This will usually be limited leave to remain or discretionary leave to remain, but other types of leave are also acceptable.
If you had more than one type of leave to remain during the 3 years before the start of the first academic of your course, you must have applied for the second type of leave before the last one expired.
You must be living in England on the first day of the first academic year of your course.
From here everything is no————————
If you're under 18 on the first day of the first academic year of your course, you must have lived in the UK for at least 7 years.
If you're 18 or older on the first day of the first academic year of your course, you must have been living in the UK for at least half of your life, or 20 years, whichever is less.
If your leave to remain in the UK expires while you're studying, we'll ask you to send us documents to show that you have a new form of leave.
If you answered 'No' to all the questions in this section, you are not eligible for student finance from Student Finance England. You may still be able to get tuition fee only funding, for example, if you are an EU/EEA national, an Irish citizen, a British citizen who has been resident in the British Overseas Territories or a Chagossian. For more information on Fee Support only funding go to www.gov.uk/studentfinance
I dont understand, please help!
Thanks

Just to clarify, Long Residency doesn't actually apply to yourself: you have Settled Status, so that section won't apply to you.
You don't need to answer any questions regarding Long Residency, just move past those sections.
Thanks, Graeme

Hi there,
Yes the application can take 6-8 weeks to process but timescales are estimates and subject to change.
Thanks, Drew
