They haven't been DLOCKed have they? Would explain a big chunk in July if the employer hadn't pressed the button? Although this doesn't explain why it's generating at all... Presume, with only a week between employers, there's no BIL, so wouldn't be an Original Start Date issue as there's only one Prog Aim?
Might have to be a helpdesk one, just the time of year you don't want it...
See, they did come back to me with 25/26 P187 at first, but it didn't apply to my learners on R01 (and doesn't apply to half of these as they started after 2024):
187. Where there is a change of employer, and the apprenticeship originally started
prior to 1 April 2024, then the co-investment waiver will no longer apply
meaning the new employer will be liable to pay co-investment (regardless of the
apprentice’s age at the time (this also covers where an apprenticeship re-starts
with a new employer)).
Absolutely **delighted** to see that the 26/27 version of this para is:
218. Where there is a change of employer (this includes apprenticeship re-starts with
a new employer), please refer to the Apprenticeship Technical Funding guide
as the co-investment calculation for the new employer may be dependent on a
number of factors.

Update from AS:
Thank you for contacting the Apprenticeship Service Support Team regarding 16-18 non levy apprentices unexpectedly appearing on the co-investment report.
I am aware that there was an issue recently that was resolved for the majority of our providers at R13, however, your issue has been raised with our Specialist Support Team for further investigation. We will advise if it linked to the known issue or if there is a different reason for this.

R12 Apps Co-Investment Report - Incorrect Employer Contribution?
Created
I have an apprentice who was aged 18 on start date (13/09/2024) with a Levy paying employer. He left them on 28/11/2025 and started with a non levy paying employer on 03/12/2025. The new non-levy paying employer is not a 'small employer' as they have 67 employees.
The R12 Apps Co-Investment report showed the levy employer needed to pay £18.33 in October 2025 (which they did). The monthly amounts due since then have been £0.00 except now - the amount due is £167.62, just for July.
Does anyone know why has this happened? He was aged 18 on his start date and the 2024/25 Apprenticeship Funding Rules contain the following rule:
157. The exemptions below apply to paragraph 156. In the circumstances below, the government will fund all of the apprenticeship training and assessment costs, up to the funding band maximum of the apprenticeship:
157.1. Employers who do not pay the levy, if at the start of their apprenticeship training the apprentice is aged between 16 and 21 years old (or 15 years of age if the apprentice’s 16th birthday is between the last Friday of June and 31 August)
Thank you
