Can anyone help please, my ds did very well in his A levels, 3A's 1B, I read somewhere that with results like these DS will be awarded a £1000 per year xtra from some goverment minister, does anyone have a link for this info, thanks

Blimey if this is true it's going to cost the govt a bomb with the record A's this year (not being catty as my daughter got AAAAB)

I have heard nothing about this and would have thought the college would have said something?

I'm being rather impatient and tried clicking on the pdf in correspondence... doesn't work.. never blinking works!!!
but just went into payments online and there it is!!! yay :-)

nice to know that no hiccups have happened yet :-)

i rang them earlier after receiving numerous emails telling me i havent given my and my parents evidence, even though we have! they have had loads of computer errors, including sending me immigration status documents, even though im NOT an immigrant!

They now say they will get back to me in TWO weeks!! GRRR

I submitted mine a while ago and like you..Got numerous emails telling me thesame thing. I think the are really disorganised or something is not right at their end.
I have been told to have a saving account which should not be a criteria?? Anyone experienced a similar problem??

Got my payment schedule last week (going into 3rd year).
Only had to show whatever form it was to my Uni in First year, didn't in second. Not sure whether that was because of what year I was in or whether the uni changed it after the enormous queues outside Student Admin and Support that it caused!

BTW, on my last visit to the local authority student finance section they said they'd written to DS1. However the letter didn't come, so he phoned up, and they'd sent it to his term-time address rather than his permanent home address. Of course, he's now moved out of last year's term-time address, so they've had to send it again, and it still hasn't come!

This might be of use to any 'returning' students who are still waiting to hear ...

Still haven't heard and now starting to worry. Going to give them a call tomorrow to check everything is in order.

For each dependent they will discount £1100 of income. I imagine that all benefits will count as income, though I may be wrong.

When you say the basic of everything do you mean as a grant or loan? Remember the highest earners get no grant, so if your has been awarded as a grant, there may be little extra to come. You could try the uni for hardship funds.
