Steve H has previously identified some oddities in the logic behind the DSAT calculations used I believe.

When challenged on this we provided snapshots using the ESFA version and these were accepted.

Silly question time...Can a learner be put on a BIL before they reach the Qualifying period? I fully expected a no from the Rules but can't find anything?
