PIP + Student Finance

I’ve been in receipt of PIP for over a year now and I’m going into my second year of University. I have sent the evidence through of my pip entitlement letter today. Is there any benefit of doing this, will it reduce the money I get?
Also, what is the special support loan, and how do I apply for it

Hi Darcey,

The Special Support Loan is a higher Maintenance Loan: we'll award this to you automatically so long as we have proof that you get PIP during the academic year.

So, now that you've uploaded your PIP letter you don't need to do anything else. Just to let you know, we're currently processing evidence in 17 working days.

Thanks, Graeme
