DSA grants

MrsManda

Hello
I know it's the least of anyone's worries at the moment but I was just wondering whether those who got DSA last year including a cash grant for books etc... have received notice of when they'll get their payment for 09/10.
The information on DSA say that if you had your assessment last year you will get the same this year without needing to do anything about it so I'm not worried about it. However last year I didn't get my DSA sorted until January so my cash grant was classed as a interim payment and just put into my account. Therefore I've no idea how it works if you've already been assessed prior to the start of term. Do you get a cheque or a letter telling you the dates you'll get it? My interim payment from last year showed up on my StudentFinance account.

Thanks everyone - I start back at university on monday and I'm kinda scared. Last year I was scared because I didn't know what to expect, this year I know what to expect and I think I'm even more frightened
