Sfe stress i need help

Hi someone
I am a first year student who wasn’t awarded sfe due to me not getting my ilr on time. I then appealed but no response. I then applied to go on independent because I’ve supported myself financially through 3 years . I then sent my 3 p60’s and I had a letter saying I’ve been awarded independent sfe . What does this mean and does it mean my sfe amount will change or my tuition will be paid for or I’ll be given the maximum loan
Please help me please. I’m dying

Hi Traceyy.x,

If you have been awarded independent status for the Maintenance Loan, your entitlement will update usually around 48 hours after the confirmation email was sent to you.

Your Tuition Fee Loan would be awarded if you have no other previous study and correctly ticked the box that you wish to receive this.

Thanks, Clare

Hi Traceyy.x,

It should be if you were eligible from the start of the academic year. Please monitor your account as your new entitlement letter will come through and your payments will scheduled in the next 1-2 working days.

Thanks, Clare

I just checked and I finally had my tuition sorted Thank God but my maintenance still remains the same minimum of 1660. Does it mean I still get the minimum or independent status sfe doesn’t affect the maintenance loan

Hi Traceyy.x,

What does your new entitlement letter say on your account?

I haven’t received the letter yet but I can only see the tuition payment pending dates but nothing has been changed on my maintenance

Hi Traceyy.x,

You mentioned that you received a letter stating you were awarded independent status. Can you confirm when you received that?

Thanks, Clare

Hi Traceyy.x,

As advised, it will take 1-2 working days for the payments to update, and you will also receive your entitlement letter on your account tomorrow.

Please monitor your account, this will update soon.
