Missed 1st Instalment of NHS LSF?

12

Due to my circumstances, I had to apply for SFE late, and my application has only just been approved. I applied for the NHS LSF as part of my AHP course this week and it has now been approved. However, my payment date for the first instalment says 19/11/2024. Will I not get the first instalment now, or will it be paid later on?

Your uni needs to confirm your attendance to the NHS LSF before any payments will be made. I think you should be eligible for the first payment but do email to check:

I’m also in the same situation, my attendance just got approved today. Did you find out anything else? I plan on ringing them tomorrow as they are open and ask whether i need to wait until the next payment date to receive the money for the first term
