Yes, I just checked and we've done that several times (had a FS start date after the Programme aim EED, and a later FS EED) and it's fine. It shouldn't happen if all the checks are done up front, b...

I guess you mean it has a new LARS code, not just a new version number? You can always change Standard if you want, you'd just have to do a Skills Scan again and treat it as brand new, as if you we...

It depends how old they are. If they were 19+ at start date then yes, they're not funded. If they were 16-18 at the start date, they're very likely funded, see paragraph 294 (mistakenly labelled as...

I wouldn't trust any response from the general helpdesk, I find it very unlikely they'll know what to do with this. I've had a query in with the team actually dealing with Project S for a number of...

Yes, we do that. Take the WEX aim out of the ILR, but retain the hours if we know they did alternative EEP activity. It's all one homogeneous EEP value in the ILR, so it doesn't matter where it sit...

Dianna Surman Agreed. It's a very grey area. We'd take length of time overseas and intent to return into consideration. I've had friends work overseas for four years, with every intention of return...
