From what I've gathered, "Awarded" means you've got the whole lot; "Fees Only" means just that. Don't take that as gospel though.

My folks just told me I got a letter from SUSI looking for more info, and they want it before 28th October. SUSI have no sense of irony or shame. I'm frustrated beyond belief.

Just got email saying I will get first payment tomorrow (awarded couple of weeks ago).

No sense of irony eh?

Still though, I'm in the same boat...well, punctured dinghy. I think no email means no money

I got home to the same letter. Asking for extra documentation, when I specifically sent everything they asked. Going to call them tomorrow and find out exactly what they need.

FYI I got "Awarded", and the letter said 50% maintenance (adjacent) and 100% fees.

For people who are being requested extra documentation I would suggest 2 things.

1 use susis complaint process. Its on their website
2 also lodge a complaint with all of your local TDs

Just to let you know, I've received "awarded" status through the online tracker and got a letter two days later awarding 100% maintenance (non-adjacent) and 100% fees.

Haven't gotten anything here. Not to sound greedy but do we get September and October this month? The email I got yesterday only listed the amount I should be getting for October.

I had all documents since June. During final assessment a month ago they requested 2 more documents that weren't originally asked for. I sent hen in within 3 days. Will this affect my grant application time ?

I don't want to sound greedy or anything but I received my first payment from SUSI on Friday but only received the October payment and not the September one. Does anybody know when I will get the September one or if I will get it at all?

Someone above said that you only get paid Oct - June. I was full sure someone told me that you get backpaid for September, but I guess not.

Yeah people told me you get the back payment included in the October payment. I sent an e-mail anyway so I'll find out tomorrow

WeHaveToGoBack

There is no payment for September. You only get paid for nine months from October.

Sup08

Yes ^^^ it's paid on your attendance. So you are paid in October based on the colleges return to SUSI of your attendance for September. A total of 9 payments up to June.

Has anybody that sent documents back in August been awarded yet? I dread to think that SUSI are still only processing July applications at the moment.

Some August applications have been awarded since October 10th (renewals).

SUSI since day one have been nothing but a disappointment. I started college the first year SUSI was set up and I have had classmates drop out as it took until May to sort out the issues. Some classmates stuck with it while others dropped out over pressure and being locked off college computers (essential for submitting college work) even though they got entitled to the grant almost a year after applying!!! A bit late.
In saying that SUSI was only set up that year and had more than enough problems. Although that is no fault of the students and no excuse for the slow process and stress they put students through.
Things have improved as far as I am aware and from experience first year always takes the longest as you are new to the system and they have to go through all the records of processing you and all your paperwork.
As long as your financial status does not change in the coming year/s then the process is a lot quicker.

I have to agree though, the current system is inadequate and stressful for students and parents chasing paperwork.

It's just unbelievable.

i sent an email got one this morning saying my form has now just only begun to start being assessed. And i should expect a "Update" within the next 2 Weeks!

i thought the assessment would be finished by now. It's hard enough as it is at the moment Travel expenses and teachers asking me for money also for certain materials.

And now the Mid-Term is here nearly and i'll have nothing to purchase any college stuff i need or basically do anything else. :cool:

As usual nothing surprises me anymore. And people wonder why so many Students have to drop out! I'll never understand why it takes so long to process grants as it should be a pretty straight forward thing and nobody will ever be able to answer the question.

Disappointed and Frustrated is a complete understatement.
