LSF (Learning support fund)TDAE (Travel and Dual Accommodation Expenses)
What are people’s experiences using LSF and TDAE? I have questions which I am struggling to get a straight answer from my uni and LSF. Any help would be appreciated.
- Is the full placement block covered eg full 5 weeks?
-if you usually live at home with parents, are you eligible to claim TDAE if your not on a mortgage or tenancy agreement? How do you prove this?
- where do people usually stay? You’d need access to a kitchen and washing machine? Where do people usually get decent accommodation? Any recommendations on the Nottingham area?
- Any other advice that will be helpful?

Download the guide linked at the bottom of the following page - it states clearly what you can/can't claim for:
https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/nhs-bursary/travel-and-dual-accommodation-expenses-tdae
You can claim for every day that you are on placement. If you are required on placement Mon-Fri, you can travel home every weekend and claim for those journeys. Ask students in the year above you where they stayed for placement. Otherwise search on booking.com or google maps. You might not need a washing machine if you are able to return home at weekends.

I'm hoping to be able to commute to all my placements, from London but this may be wishful thinking.
If I live in my 'own home' (I have a tenancy agreement) both term and non-term time, does this prevent me from claiming additional accommodation costs near/at the hospital, should I be placed somewhere with a 4-5 h daily commute.
I tried to work this out from the NHSBSA website, but they keep interchanging 'own home' with 'parental home', so I'm not sure.
