Hi all,

I received my registration form through for DD100 today and a letter accompanying it informing me that my application for the course feees has been confirmed so my course is being paid for!

Just wondering about the course grant? (not sure if I got this the right way round!) It didn't mention anything about the £255 that I might be able to get towards books and things. Anyone know where I might find this out or when they might tell me about it?

Thanks! :p

    The grant will be paid automatically after a few weeks. mine this year turned up about 2 weeks after the course started.
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.

    This is paid automatically into your account after the course has started.
    The grant is paid to you for books you may need, travel to tutorials and anything else you may need to help you with your course.

    Good luck with DD100 I am awaiting my results for my DD100 and enjoyed the course very much.
