Student finance

Anyone having problems with student finance ? We applied early in year for means testing and all paperwork and evidence submitted as they requested.

They have allocated my daughter the minimum maintenance loan instead of the full amount (which is what she should get given my income) and after numerous phone calls where they said they were checking my income with hmrc ... they have now said that her application is "non- means tested" hence minimum amount !!!

I now have to fill in a Pff2 form which repeats everything i've already given them !!

Really frustrated

Anyone had similar ??

Hi we are having similar problems with student finance applying for ds maintenance loan. I wasn’t given the option of adding my financial details online no reason given but dh could. I had to complete a pff2 form and ds was awarded the lowest amount as they said I hadn’t given them my financial info even though on ds application it said they had received it. Student finance then tells dh he also has to complete a pff2 form. Just wondering did you manage to resolve your dds her application and get the correct amount of maintenance loan from student finance?
