Just add in 23/24 ILR with true start dates and price etc. You will lose all on programme payments from Nov 22 to Jul 23. And will just be able to claim the remaining on programme payments from Aug 23, plus the completion payment. That's assuming it was a levy payer and didn't require a reservation. If it required a reservation, and that's only just been sorted, your earliest start date is December 2023. If you record that, you cannot use any of the OTJ hours/duration done before that, so you'll have to extend the end date to a year after the new start date to manage that. They're the only way to claim funding legitimately.

We have a really strict process for this. We will just withdraw apprentices after a few months if the DAS hasn't been sorted. If they needed a reservation, we're even stricter, and will make them completely restart on a date that fits the reservation. End of ILR year is also a key line we don't cross.

Thank you so much for your response, Ruth. Makes my life easier but came with another things that this learner is on Apps Standard with expected end date in Jan 2024. 

Also, Can I move this learner from Dec to Aug on DAS, and if yes, then how.  before I start on the paperwork.

Thank you in advance

I am not sure about the DAS part, but I think you should just be able to click edit and make the change. The employer will likely have to approve it. If it can be backdated to Nov 2022, it should be. If that's not possible, and it has to be in year, Aug 23 will have to do.
