Student finance reassesed

lalamb

My daughter started university last year, but when she applied for student finance she did it on a non income assessed. We thought she would be better off, but it turns out she would have got more if she had applied for finance based on household income.

I have 2 questions though, related to assessment for different periods.

1. Can she have it reassesed now for 2013/14? Based on 2012/13 financial year?

2. She is about to reapply for 2014/15 year but our combined salary will drop this coming tax year by a considerable amount, I think we will have to provide 2013/14 salaries though, do they take into consideration the year coming or will they only consider it based on the tax year to date?

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Yes you can, my son did the same thing, just give them a ring. They sorted it out for us quite quickly, but I can not remember exactly what the details were, so you need to contact them.
