Childcare

My childcare Grant form was recieved six weeks ago but was only sent to the dependants team two days ago. The advisor told me this was a miss communication error and could only apologise but will now take another 21 working days for my application to be assessed. I cannot attend uni until my baby is in nursery which I cannot do until I have my finance. How are student finance allowed to make such an error and then say there is nothing they can do to speed things up. I am left with very few options apart from dropping out because of the amount of time I have missed and still another month I will probably have to wait. I have had wrong advice time and time again. I started my application on 3 August how can sfe make such a mistake but I am paying for it.

Hi,

I'm glad to hear that they dealt with it for you, hopefully as a result of this they will process your claim for childcare funding, please let us know when you receive a response and if it has been resolved for you.
