New student loan system VS old

Options
Hello, I started my course in Sept 2014 and I have one year of study left. I would like to know if the amount provided will be as it has been before in a maintenance grant and loan format. I am aware that the current system for new starters provides a £8200 loan for an income below £25,000. But what is the format for myself? I have seen that if the income is below £18,360 then you get £3110 grant and £3552 loan (SFE 2015/16 guide booklet), but then I see elsewhere that below £25,000 provides £3387 grant and £4047 Loan (savethestudent.org website). So there is conflicting information and the SFE website only provides information for those who started the course in 2016 and 2017 (the new system).

Therefore could you please advise me on what you know, this would be very much appreciated.
