    Could I just put a provisio that this may be true for English students (no idea for Scottish) but Welsh students aren't eligible for the loan

    Yes you can still apply for the maintenence loan, from the details you give I *think* they then assess automatically if you're entitled to a maintenance grant.

    You want the loan- the grant is the means tested bit.

    As for evidence of the bursary application, just say you can't provide evidence. Mine went through fine with that, I can't imagine why they would need it as the amount has no bearing on what loan you get.
