3. Reassessment of your entitlement

What is a reassessment?

A reassessment is when we recalculate your student finance entitlement (how much you can get). A reassessment normally happens after we've been notified of:

• a change to your circumstances

• updated information in relation to you or your course

• new estimates or confirmation of estimated information

We'll consider how this new information affects your current student finance entitlement and let you know:

• what has changed

• how it affects your funding

• any actions you need to take as a result

How can a reassessment affect my student finance?

If your entitlement is reassessed this could mean either:

• you're due more funding, so future payments may be increased

• you're due less funding, so future payments may be reduced

• you're due less funding because you've been paid too much and now need to repay the amount you've been overpaid

• your entitlement is unchanged - we'll still write to you to confirm this

What will happen following a reassessment?

We'll always send you an updated Notification of Entitlement to confirm your new entitlement and tell you if you need to do anything.
