HI there,

If you didn't apply as living elsewhere already on your application, you can change this online in your account and you may receive more Maintenance Loan.

If you click on view/manage your application, change your application and course details. If it doesn't let you do this online, it will give you the option to complete the CO1 Change of Circumstances Form to complete and upload under the evidence upload option. Once received, the change is currently taking 17 working days to be processed. Our timescales are estimates and can change daily up or down depending on how busy we are. If the team need anything else they will email you, it may go to your junk folder.

We do normally ask later in the year for proof you have moved address, so you may get request asking for this

Once updated and approved, this will reflect online and then you will receive paperwork in the post.

Thanks,
Claire
