Is it possible to change from non income assessed to income assessed?

Hi

I wonder if any one knows if it is possible to change from non-income assessed student maintenance loan to income assessed maintenance loan part way through the year due to change in circumstances?

On the direct gov website it says you can apply to have income assesed loan re-assessed if your income changes, but can you apply to have it re-assessed if you didn't apply for income assessed loan in the first place?

Thanks

Yes you can.

I have just recently went through this process sent all my information and evidence in to switch the loan over from non-income assessed to income assessed so it certainly can be done. I was just wondering if anyone knew how long it will take for the new evidence to be taken into account i.e. when will I know how much loan I am eligible for?

Thanks for any help

Is there any way to change you loan from income assessed to non-income assessed mid-way through your application?
I tried the link above but I couldn't find the "make a change to your application" bit

I think you have to finish your application and submit it, then change the application via Make a change to your application.
