The DfE informed us today that the problem was fixed, and we have now signed our funding claim.

Is everybody else accessing funding claims without problem?

Tracy Laight, I have this issue for one of our apprentices. I've read the funding reports guidance, but can't see any relevant notes. Did you ever get to the bottom of this issue?

I'd like to ask a related question. There are two issues here: (1) Age on 31st August in the teaching year of start. I think that all learners funded by the ASF must be aged 19+ on 31st August in the academic year of start, without exception. I think this also applies to tailored learning (the old community learning used to have a lower age limit: learners had to be aged 19+ on the learning start date). Am I correct about this? 2) Age band 19 to 23 or 24+ The funding rules have different eligibilities for the age bands 19 to 23 and 24+, but they do not define the reference date for calculating the learner age. I think that the learner age on the learning start date is always used to determine the relevant age band for eligibility. Am I correct about this?

It depends which funding stream you are referring to. Your learner would not be eligible for ASF until 01/08/2025.

Great question, Richard Heath. Somebody has just asked me the same question and I'm searching for the answer. I recall reading some years ago that assessments cannot be funded, but I cannot find this now. Did you find the answer?

Jade Wilson Very interesting, thanks. Have you contacted the support desk for assistance with this yet? I haven't. I'd say that it was around November when my problems started too. I've just thought of another test we could do to prove that the issue is related to software and not our local set up. We could try running the first edition FIS with a file from that era to see if the problem still happens.

Jade Wilson I thought it was just me! :) Steve Hewitt Nothing has changed in my setup that I know about. The application files are stored in sharepoint, and this syncs to a local folder on my device. When I run the application, I am running it from the local folder. I will try to test it in another local folder that is not syncing to sharepoint to see if it makes any difference. Jade Wilson what is your setup?
