I have a question; I have had my needs assessment for next academic year when I'll begin my MA. i have already received my equipment, but I wondered if I will be able to purchase things before the academic year such as books. I bought a book on Amazon yesterday which will be useful for my course next year and I was wondering whether I will be able to claim the cost of this book as part of my book allowance or whether I have to wait until the beginning of next academic year?
