Hi All,
In last years funding rules it clearly stated that a Family member of a UK and EEA national could be funded if they had not resided in the UK for 3 years on the below basis (a UK family member)
Family members of UK and EEA nationals
P395 Family members of UK nationals are eligible for funding if:
P395.1 They (the family member) have been ordinarily resident in the UK or EEA for at least the previous three years before the start of the apprenticeship.
P396 Family members of EEA nationals who have obtained pre-settled or settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme are eligible for funding if:
P396.1 They (the family member) have been ordinarily resident in the UK or EEA for at least the previous three years before the start of the apprenticeship.
P397 A ‘family member’ is the husband, wife, civil partner, child, grandchild, dependent parent or grandparent of a UK or EEA national.
It seems that this section is no longer in this years funding rules. What stance is everyone else is taking in this situation – i.e. a UK national that has lived outside of the UK and EEA previously and does not have 3 years of residency in the UK or EEA. Usually the family member declaration would be sufficient to evidence eligibility. However I am not sure this applies in this years rules.
