UC and sfe

Hi,

Please clarify if SFE informs universal credit directly if a student is receiving maintenance loan or does the student need to do it themselves? I don’t want to make any mistakes assuming so would help if someone clarified this so that I’m aware if there’s anything I need to do. Thanks
Hi Tee1290,

You would inform them directly.

Thanks, Clare

Hi Clare,

Thanks for confirming. Does that mean SFE doesn’t? I was under the impression SFE does but then I’m being told I have to.
I’m new to all this so apologies for asking again as I want 100% confirmation and then I can sort this asap. Thanks!
Hi Tee1290,

That's correct, SFE would not inform Universal Credit directly, that would be the responsibility of the student to let them know.

Thanks, Clare

Thanks. Do I also need to inform housing benefit or you do this? Again, sorry as I’m new to all this. Thanks

You need to inform UC and the council of any changes to your circumstances.
Hi there. Yes, you would need to advised all of them about your circumstances. Thanks, Leah.
