    Can I just ask

    Did you start in September 2012 or are you starting in Sep 2013

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    normally no you will not get the grant for 1st year,
    However you will get it for 2nd onwards. You can only get the grant once per year of study
    but since you are applying as mature student im sure that there are other grants you can apply for.

    Sorry I missed the edit in your post
    That is very possible that you will still get it especially since mature students are "non-standard applicants"
    but as you said it costs nothing to apply so why not!

    I was in a similar situation to yourself - I'd dropped out of a degree course in second year and after more than 5 years went back and got free fees and grant from first year because I was a second chance student. Assuming your income doesn't go over their limits for free fees/grant, I don't see why you shouldn't get it. Best of luck.
