maintenance loan 2015-16

stedwell

Hi
Just received the amount for my daughters maintenance loan for her final year at uni next year. We have noticed that the amount has gone down even though our finances have not changed. I have looked online and the amount for a household income of over £62,500 looks set to be £3,731. We have been offered £3,469. Before I go contacting Student Finance I just wondered if there was anything I have missed or if my information is incorrect?
Many thanks.

You always get slightly less in your final year even if your income doesn't change. In the previous years the amount you get is meant to be for Sept to Sept, in your final year it is only for Sept to June because you can get a job once you have finished your course or claim Jobseekers.

Thanks helix.
I did wonder if it was something like that.
