The money spent on travel cards seems a lot, is there any way of making it cheaper e.g. travelling on the bus some of the way, especially if in zone 1. Also make sure that your wife takes advantage of the student oyster (if not already doing so)

We are out in zone 4, south of the river, work/unie is zone 1/2, and yes already using student oyster.

I get my childcare paid via the LEA, can you not get hers paid that way?

Hi,

Sorry not sure I understand what you mean, Newham is the LEA she is under (although we are not in Newham), and Newham said no to the childcare grant..mind elaborating?

Thanks!

The LEA would never pay childcare help to a student who is supported by a partner in a well paid job. They rarely give money to students whose partner is in any job
