How long were people waiting between sending in the course acceptance letter and the next step, and is that to login and enter bank details? We haven't received final confirmation that my daughter is getting the grant and how much, just the earlier letter to say she should get it. It's now clocking onto December now and getting really concerned.

I sent my final course acceptance in on the 12th of September.. So over 2 months ago? And then you enter bank details yep, I entered my bank details there 5 weeks ago!

I was told not to enter my bank details yet? How will I get the money? :L
Fúck susi.

I wonder is there a further delay depending on which county is the actual awarding body?
My friend's son was asked for his bank details the end of October and had some money in his account just over a week later - Dublin City Council.

There could be easily spurious, Longford County Council aren't known for their work ethic if i'm to be honest. I submitted my bank details on the 10th of October (6 weeks today actually and nothing yet! )

Still waiting to hear back myself, I got a text about 2 weeks ago saying 'thanks for submitting your forms'.

Cool, thanks a lot! :').. So we'll be receiving payments for October & November on the 30th? That's brilliant, thanks man! :')

As far as i know, if you are being back-dated, you should have already got Octobers payment, and then next week you will receive Novembers as normal.

I entered my bank details on the 14th of this month and got a email yesterday saying an amount for 528.78 will be put into my bank today I assume this is back payed. This system is useless though i know people still waiting who sent of all stuff and course acceptance forms months ago,

grantyrs10

Got a letter saying I ommited all my documentation even though I provided everything months ago in july.. Its disgraceful nd so unfair

That's a strange one, i know there useless, but give'em a call, im sure they might be able to tell you something about it.

I got my Octobers payment a week ago, and there yesterday i got my November one (thankfully!) - at both times, i got the email just before it was lodged to my account. :eek:

There is only one awarding body now for all students who started courses in 2012 - SUSI.

it's about a month now since my daughter sent in the course acceptance letter and copy of leaving cert results.. Nothing back yet. I'm going to email them again and see if they can give me some update. It's disgraceful. My daughter told me a friend of hers may have to drop out as the girl has no money to buy food and no idea when the grant is coming in. Absolutely disgraceful. I cannot imagine any other sector being treated like this and there being so little media coverage.. I am really surprised that the students unions or the colleges themselves do no appear to be mobilizing on this more. Surely to god if fees are not being paid, there will be a bottle neck at some point down the line regarding facilities in the colleges ?

A month isn't a very long time in comparison to how long some people have been waiting.

I got my letter telling me how much I was getting last Friday, and just got an email from them telling me I'll have the money tomorrow, happy days!

Hey does anyone know if they pay in your grant money the same date every month? I got mine on the 2nd November and just wondering will it be in tomorro the 2nd of december? I need it to pay for my rent on monday

dubdub123

My daughter just entered her bank details today : ) Anyone know when she'll expect the grant to come in?

Just got my letter this morning confirming the amount I'll receive and asking me to enter my details online...did that as soon as I read it...so how long should I have to wait until it comes through? Not that I'm in any hurry to receive it just yet but still it's way overdue...

Em, the next official payment date I believe is the 25th of January, but since you're owed October, November and December you'll receive back payment at some stage before that. Payments take place on a Friday always so my guess is you'll receive Octobers payment on the 4th of January, Novembers payment on the 12th of January and Decembers payment on the 19th of January allowing Januarys payment to come at the right time the 25th, maybe I'm completely wrong but that's something similar that happened to me in December

May be a stupid question but how do you qualify for a grant? As in what's the income level thing etc?

I tried looking on the website but don't understand it fully... :P

Thanks for the link got my answer from there

I can't be the only one who applied really early in the application process and STILL hasn't gotten the grant??

Rang SUSI. They're looking for more documents from me. More documents that I've already sent off!! They said they rang me on the 21st of December and had a conversation with me about it. No call took place and no such conversation happened. They actually have to be taking the piss at this stage don't they???

I'm seriously considering contacting a solicitor and suing their asses ta fuck!

Anyone know is there a certain amount of days that you're allowed miss while getting your grant? Entered my details online around Christmas and still haven't received any money. Beginning to think its because I missed a **** load of days so far!
