Can I claim anything on top of 'Adult Learning Grant' ?

Question

I am doing a adult returners course and only getting £30 a week adult learning grant, I am not living at home but with my boyfriend's mum who is also on benefits, I maybe too late to claim now as my course ends June 08 but maybe I could get some backdated if I should have been receiving something like Income Support maybe? I am going to do Access to Nursing in Sep 08 and wondered if and what I can claim? I was 21 last Nov. Thanks all

Answer 1

Yes you can, but not if you are on benifits.

you need to be at college for at least 12 hours per week.

the grants range from £20,000 to £35,000 per year.

You need to be studying at least NVQ level2 or A levels....access course wil qualifiy you no problem.

It is to early yet to apply, because first you need to have applied and been accepted on a course as prove of what you are doing.

The grants are not usually paid untill late sep / early oct.

Job seekers wil give you all the info.

Good Luck to you
