DAS process - Increase in price (change of std version)

Created

Some of our standards have had a version change and price increase, & we are considering changing version (and price) for existing apprentices, not just new starts, as we are permitted to.

My query is around the price change. App service guidance says:

“If you want to change the total agreed apprenticeship price, you'll need to make the price change in your ILR submission first. Once you've submitted your updated ILR, you'll see an option to update the price in the apprenticeship service.”

Am I correct that this means a price change in a submitted AND CLOSED ILR (monthly) submission? 

Or would a submitted file in the middle of the month before the return closes also trigger the option to update the price?

Yes an ILR submitted file in the middle of the month before the return closes also trigger the option to update the price although there may be a few hours delay before this is shown on DAS.

You can change version for existing Apprentices, but any increase in funding only applies for new starts on or after the new version implementation (start date) date.

Thanks Martin West.

Very happy I was wrong, and that (for once) the language they used was actually accurate.

Thank you for your advice over the price not increasing. I've now found the clause I overlooked yesterday:

P299 Where an existing apprentice moves versions, they will continue thessame funding band that they started on.  

This makes the decision so much easier.
