Hi Samira,

Childcare Grants are based on the Household Income and the students own circumstances.

We have no access to specific accounts on The Student Room but it is likely that your entitlement has changed due to the change of income.

Thanks Rona

Hi Thanks for your reply , but do you think £18000 income has this effect on my child care ? It’s too much ! 😩 is there any chance to change their decision ?

Hi Samira riaz,

The income will have an effect on the amount of grants and childcare that you are entitled to.

How many children do you have?

As we have no access to specific accounts on The Student Room, I would advise you to call us in order that we can look at the entitlement on,

Tel: 0300 100 0607
(Open Monday to Friday from 8.00am to 8.00pm and between 9.00am and 4.00pm on Saturday. Local call rates apply).

Thanks Rona

Hi Samira riaz,

The assessment will be correct. Two parents with two or more children, with an income between £9,628 and £28,344 with childcare added to the application, would only be entitled to partial grants.
