Your Notification of Entitlement
This confirms what you're getting and when.
If your application is successful, we'll send you a Notification of Entitlement. This explains what type of student finance you're getting, how much you'll get and when to expect your payments to be made.
You should always read and keep these. Make sure you understand your entitlement and what this means to you.
Check the information on the notification is correct
When you get your notification of entitlement- check the following:
- how much you're getting
- when we'll pay you
- your bank or building society details
- if you need to send us something
Tell us if the information is wrong or out of date
Let us know immediately. You can update some or all this information in your student finance account (opens in a new tab).
Send us any missing information or evidence
We might ask for more information or evidence. If we do, get it to us as soon as possible.
The most common things we'll ask for are your bank or building society information or your National Insurance number. We cannot pay you without everything we need.
To find your National Insurance number download the HMRC app (opens in a new tab).
Any Disabled Students' Allowance will not show on your notification of entitlement
If you're also applying for Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) you'll get a separate Disabled Students' Allowance Entitlement letter confirming this.
If you get another Notification of Entitlement
This is probably because we have re-assessed your entitlement. The most recently dated notification of entitlement always replaces any you've already received.
Read any new ones you get to make sure you know if anything has changed. If you've been paid too much, we might ask you to repay this sooner than you would normally.
