In your latest post you say your education provider said they don't do one and directed you to gov.uk.julie_gary said:..when i was on the phone i asked about the mainatence loan and he replied no we dont give them out its on the gov website..julie_gary said:i was on uc so i didnt bother asking for one and there wasn't a link to get oneInformation I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.3 -
It is a bit like getting blood out of a stone.So when you were asking about the maintenance loan, and were told that they didn’t do them and you needed to look on the gov.uk website what did you do next?
Did you check the website for eligibility or did you not bother looking into it further?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

I am still unclear how the OP ascertained the loan wasn’t available to them. Hence my previous question which the next comment didn’t clear up at all.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

julie_gary said:for the course only it wasn't available for meHow do you know that because in another comment you said you didn't bother applying because you were claiming UC.I'll ask again, have you used the calculator link that was posted twice to check for certain?2

@julie_gary if you want any sort of decent advice you need to make the effort to help yourself by giving clearer and longer answers.
Otherwise this is going to carry on going round in circles till everyone gives up.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
