Your SU is your responsibility
You are responsible for the correctness of the information that the SU Agency and VIA have, and which forms the basis of your grant/student loan. If you discover errors in information or payments, or your circumstances change, you have a duty to inform VIA or the SU Agency.
This also applies if you are impeded in your education programme, e.g. due to illness. Read more about impediments and SU here.
