    Could be revised entitlement, or your university hasn't confirmed that the course details held for you are correct and that you are still in attendance.

    I'd suggest making a phone call.
  • It is only the tuition fee's that are blocked - my next grant payment says approved and is due in June.

    I sent in my Student Finance Application for next year around the same time they changed this.

    I am doing a 2 year degree, however I started it in Oct 2010, but re-started me course in Feb 2011.
    So I had to apply for 2010 / 2011, then also had to apply for finance for 2011 / 2012. I have to apply for 2012 / 2013 for my final semester, which is Oct 2012 - Feb 2013, and on my application I stated I'm in year 2 - because I am.

    I effectively am re-sitting one semester. I didn't apply for tuition fee's for 2012/2013 as I don't need to pay anything extra.

    Do you think they have just got a little confused as to whats going on? It is clearly stated on my Account that I'm finishing in Jan 2013 - because they have a letter from my University confirming this.

    Same still applies. Fees are different to the maintenance side of things. You need to phone up.
