Do I need to do anything?

Monty_9

A few weeks ago I sent off my old mans details so I can be assessed for the maintenance grant. I havent heard anything yet but it hasnt been 8 weeks which is the guideline time. But I just went and checked direct gov site and logged in and it still says support an application, as I sent off my old mans details through post should this change? Or should I just wait, or should I ring them up to check everything is ok?

Thanks In Advance

The 'Support an Application' section at the bottom of your account is not to do with your application but for if you need to support someone else's application.
Did you send the evidence recorded delivery? Has it been signed for?

The 'Support an application section will stay at the bottom of your account regardless of your own assessment.

No I just sent it first class, I havent really been to worried and am still not but it would be nice to have the assurance that I should get it near enough when I start

There are currenly delays of around 8-10 weeks.

Unfortuantley best thing you can do is be patient. And pray.

Thats fair enough then, be nice to have all the student finance stuff done...Am I right in saying that once they get back to me I dont have to worry about it for a year do I?

Once you get your notification of payment you don't have to do anything until ~February when the applications for student finance will open for 10/11
