Anyone else claimed a student loan for an OU course?

I beleive there is £500 a year available.

I'm asking as i realise i cannot afford my next course (GUTTED). Its a grand 
over ten months. I can afford £50 a month though.

But as i owe so much to the SLC, a couple of hundred would'nt make much 
diff.

If you are in Scotland, and qualify for the loan, you get a loan of
£500. In England, you get a grant of £250. This is given after the
start of the course (I'm still waiting for mine!)

I'm probably teaching my grandma to suck eggs here, but in case you
didn't know, there is a Student Budgeting Account thing where you can
spread payments...

I wasn't aware there was student loans available. Has anyone got a link 
about it, or more info about qualifiers?
I know there is a grant for low income people, of £250 a year. And up to 
£800 odd to cover course fees depending on circumstances and points values.
