Morning, I know this conversation was over a year ago but just wondered if anybody has been able to collect any alternative evidence for self-employed learners to prove earnings? We have had an increased number of potential learners come through but it's quite difficult to evidence their annual earnings, especially later in the year when the annual P60/tax return is over 3 months old or learners aren't claiming Universal Credit etc. I asked the ESFA and one of their suggestions was a bank statement which I'm not particularly comfortable asking people to show and also it doesn't really prove anything in relation to earnings. I asked about self-declaration if the learner didn't have anything else they could use to prove earnings but they said "Another form of evidence as well as the self-declaration form is therefore required, we aren’t prescriptive of what that needs to be.". Just feels like we're having situations where we aren't able to enrol people because of this so I'm hoping others have some experience and can offer some advice... Thanks Steve

Thanks Steve, I'll continue to add FM-38 and LDM-388 to all of these starts then and see if it goes through :-)

Just following up on this, if the aim is recorded with Funding Model 38 and LDM 388 it triggers the error LearnDelFamType_116? Steve

Thanks for the reply Anna, can I just double-check this through before I start changing all of our learners? The LDM code 388 is 'Adult Education Budget procurement 2023', is this definitely required for all new aims starting 01.08.24 onwards? Steve

Thank you for the reply, I've resubmitted the ILR file and it now has zero errors. However can you confirm that the way I am coding the learners is correct please (Funding Model 38 and no LDM code)? Steve

No need to apologise, there are a lot of dates to consider when working out QAR! Assuming it's the 13.05.23 date that you have recorded on the ILR in the 'learning planned end date' field, I would say that this learner counts towards your 22/23 QAR. The only one of your dates that falls into 23/24 is the 'expected end' which I'm not 100% how that differs to your 'learning expected end'? If this is the date you've used on the ILR instead then it would mean they would impact the 23/24 QAR.

Hi, Did you record the Actual End Date timely (as in, was the 31.03.23 end date recorded before 22/23 closed in October 2023)? Also, is your 13.05.23 'learning expected end' date the one recorded on the ILR and then a 8 month EPA period to the 13.01.24 date or is that something else? Steve

Haven't had an answer back from anybody however I've just checked on DAS and the two learners that were missing are now showing so hopefully the system is fixed :-)

Hmm sounds like there may be something wrong with the system that started yesterday afternoon as mine was fine before then, glad to know it's not just me :-)
