Messed up my Student Finance Application

Hi
I have completed my student finance application; however, when applying for a maintenance loan, I didn't click the higher maintenance loan option as I intend on staying at home and didn't feel like I needed it. However, after some thinking, I would like to change it to a higher maintenance loan, especially if I end up deciding to not stay at home. Is there a way I could change this right now? If not, is there a way I will be able to in the future after starting university?
My application has already been approved so would I need to cancel and redo an application again, contact them or is there a different way to change this?

Thanks

Hi there,

Yes, you can request the higher Maintenance Loan, and you don't need to cancel your application.

If you click 'view or manage' online and then 'change my loan request' do you see the option to request the higher loan there?

Thanks, Graeme
