Special support loan - evidence?

SFE have said that my PIP letter showing the amount of PIP i get for 2025/26 (Dated April) doesn't show that i will be receiving benefits in the academic year that my student loan is for (2025/26). How else am I supposed to provide evidence? Will it even make a difference if they have already decided my entitlement and my household income means i am only getting the minimum (due to my dad's income who i haven't lived with for 15 years, but I haven't lived independently for 3 years until January 26)

Hi there,

It sounds like your letter actually does contain the dates we need, so it would be best to access your account so we can check.

Can you please send us a live chat on your account? One of our team will be able to help.

Thanks, Graeme
