OU parents learning allowance

rapunzelz86

Hi there, i have been accepted for fee and course grant, but had a letter saying to be considered for the pla i had to send my childrens birth certificates which i had forgot to do. now, dispicable i know :eek: but i cant find them! ive hunted the whole house. so to replace 3 will be £21 i think. im just wondering if its worth me doing this ie how much is this parents learning allowance, is it one off,monthly,quarterly etc? if im not going to be missing out on much then i wont worry,as i really havent even got that £21 right now,and they have to recieve them by wednesday.TIA

Think it is up to £1500 a year depending on your wages savings etc so would recommend you get those forms. With Easter you will have to do so on Tuesday then try to get it to them first class.

Maybe email them to confirm you are sending it to make sure it is OK.

Anyone on here with the ou and get the allowance?

Think i probably should then if its that much. I am on benefits atm so i did get the full award for fee/course grant.thanks very much.

This is per term though- so probably worth getting birth certificates

Good Luck with this!

Can you give a link to this please? I know that it's only for Wales so I won't have come across it before but it seems so unlikely that there's a 4,500 pa grant for part times tudy. Thanks

Edit: Student Finance Wales says about 750.00 pa for a course that's 50% part time.
