Hi all,
Last year I lived at home with my mum and, as it was means tested, had a big grant on top of my loan.
However, this year, I live with a friend, it's his mortgage and i simply pay rent, and as such am less well off. However, after putting this on my form the Student Loans People say that its not means tested and so are only giving me the loan ... Is there any way I can still get the grant that anyone knows of?
Cheers.

I assume you arent at uni at the mo, so when you go back in Sept, speak to the advice centre at your union and they should know what is available for you and what the uni itself can offer you.
what was your grant called that you had last year?
