yeah, its a question of who do you think will screw up the government less frmo what I usually see.
My favourite thing from studylink, well actually theres two
first, when I first applied for a student allowance, sent in all the forms, etc, I get a message back saying that I wasn't in enough courses to count as a full time student. I was doing 3, as I dropped out of one having found out it was absolutely useless.
Now I called them up, turns out they have this 'point' thing that each course is worth, and I didn't have enough 'points' (needed 4 i think) for "full time student".
I thought this was strange.
Not too much later, I signed up for next semesters courses, or at least some of them. This was less than halfway through the semester? and then suddenly I'm eligible for the student allowance. The second semester courses, which I wasn't even doing, counted towards my student allowance.
The other was this year, when I was told my student allowance was going to stop for the second semester, I re-applied, was told I had to verify income and parents income AGAIN, was lazy, didn't do it for a while, and tehy started paying me again anyway. Even got a letter at some point this semester saying the amount I was entitled to had changed. Then about a week or two later got one asking me to verify the income again.
