I have a question about the maintenance loan

I've been awarded £10500 for the year but my UC and housing benefit will be gone, but I've found that there is a student support loan as well, is this included in the loan because its considered part time and if not how do I apply for it because the loan is just going to go on rent mostly.

I've applied for DSA as well but it doesn't really help with anything financial I'm doing forensic psychology and they're two modules at a time! for me to put my all into this I kind of need to take the stress of being poor away lol

Hi there. What do you mean by student support loan? You would get Maintenance Loan and Tuition Fee from SFE. You can also get grants for it you have children, or an adult dependent for example, and DSA. We don't offer any other support for housing etc. Thanks, Leah.
