    That's an advanced learner loan, which is different to the link posted for student finance earlier in the thread. A Diploma should qualify you for student finance maintenance loan. See link. https://www.gov.uk/student-finance/who-qualifies

    Good afternoon Julie,
    
    I have raised a Mandatory Reconsideration for a Decision Maker to consider. 
    There is currently a backlog on the Mandatory reconsiderations so we are unable 
    to provide a timescale for the decision but your journal will be updated when a 
    decision has been made.

    Good luck with the outcome.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
