Just a heads up that Scottish students can now claim travel expenses for the 2009/2010 term through the SAAS website.

seems abit weird applying i did.

17 weeks = £187

13 weeks = £143

9 weeks = £99

39 weeks course travel cost £429 at £11 per week mega rider. On saas form it says 5000 i am applying for not sure why its saying that any ideas anyone.

thrustmaster

You need to enter £11 beside the number of weeks as it is the cost per week.

You shouldn't be receiving £1,100. The maximum they can give out is £995, and that is for an independent student.

Plus they give you the amount you would receive if you went by the cheapest method of travel. I put in a claim for travelling by car, though the expenses paid to me last year were worked out on travelling by bus as this was the cheapest method as thoeretically i could get the bus to uni. Hope that makes sense.

I applied first thing yesterday morning, been waiting for it for ages!
Mines comes to £700 odds, minus the £160 they take off i should get about £500

Your possibly right about the amount now I think about it. Either way I get whatever the max is.

Could really use a little cash injection before christmas!!!
