We have the same errors here, around 63 errors related to this.  The first thing I noticed was that, the "Date applies from" on ILR defaulted to "01/08/2021", which was not matching the original start date entered originally entered at point of data entry: very strange as we do not know why... I started to go through each single learner affected by this error by changing the "Date applies from" to the latest date entered on ILR and this seems to be working for me as I am just few errors away to have our R01 resolved. I thought I should share this with you and hope this helps. Glad

Good morning and Happy New Year to you. We have a contract with GLA and based on par 81 to 89 (see below), our learners fall under that category and therefore with have applied relevant DAM code 23 + FFI  for learners unemployed & claiming benefits. After that, we have submitted our final R05 and there were no more errors related to "LearnDelFamType_124 ", and our funding is back to normal. GLA ASF Grant Funding and Performance Management Rules 2024-25  81. You may fully fund learners who are unemployed, employed, or selfemployed, up to and including level 2 and the level 3 offers, if they earn below  the London Living Wage earnings threshold.  82. The London Living Wage is an hourly rate of pay, calculated annually by the  Resolution Foundation and overseen by the Living Wage Commission. It is  currently set at £13.15 (November 2023). 83. Reviewed independently to reflect the high cost of living in the capital, it gives  workers in London and their family enough to afford the essentials and to  save. The basket of goods draws on the Minimum Income Standard to identify  everyday living costs through public consensus. 84. The annual gross salary London Living Wage threshold is calculated based on  the hourly London Living Wage at that point in time, multiplied by 37.5 (hours  per week), multiplied by 52 (weeks per year). The current annual London  Living Wage threshold is £25,642.50. 85. The London Living Wage earnings threshold may change within the academic  year. When this occurs, you can use this methodology to calculate the new  annual London living wage earnings threshold. We expect the London Living  Wage to be revised in October or November 2024. 86. You must have seen evidence of the learner’s gross annual wages in these  circumstances. This could be a wage slip or a UC statement within 3 months  of the learner’s learning start date, or a current employment contract which  states gross monthly/annual wages. Please note this is not an exhaustive list,  but you must evidence your decision to award full funding to an individual who  would normally be eligible for co-funding. 87. You may also fully fund learners who meet the London Living Wage earnings  threshold criteria for qualifications included in the GLA’s flexibilities cited in  paragraphs 120 to 148 unless otherwise stated in the relevant section. 88. You may use your discretion to fully fund learners who are out of work and are  not in receipt of benefits, and 88.1 want to be employed, or 88.2 are seeking exceptional support with social integration, including  those with no recourse to public funds 89. You must use DAM code 010, DAM code 023 and FFI code 1 to claim full  funding for learners who meet the requirements set out in paragraphs 81 to  88. I hope that helps. Glad

Hi again, I was also going to point out that, if you have a contract with GLA, you may consider to add "DAM code 023 and FFI code 1 to claim full" to bypass this error: only for the group of learners below: "If the learner is unemployed and is claiming benefits". 81. ou may fully fund learners who are unemployed, employed, or selfemployed, up to and including level 2 and the level 3 offers, if they earn below  the London Living Wage earnings threshold. I just done that and it worked.  DAM code 023 and FFI code 1 to claim full  funding for learners who meet the requirements set out in paragraphs 81 to  88. 90. If the learner is unemployed and is claiming benefits you must complete the  Benefit Status Indicator (BSI) to identify the learner is in receipt of Jobseeker’s  Allowance (BSI 1), Universal Credit (BSI 4), or Employment and Support  Allowance (all categories) (BSI 5). (ILR Specification 2024 to 2025: Attribute:  Benefit Status Indicator).

Same here, we are having the same issue, same errors "ILR error LearnDelFamType - The Full funding indicator is not valid for this learning aim". I also reported the  issue to the ESFA before submitting the R05 and also after submitting our R05:  we have some many errors related to this and that has affected  all our ASF funded learning aim.  Please see the ESFA response below: we hope that this issue is fixed before the submission window for R05 freezes: fingers crossed for us.   Thursday, January 2, 2025 9:53 AM Dear Helen,  Thank you for your response. Unfortunately we do not have a specific fix date. Rest assured we are actively working on it and there are many affected by this.  Further education and training providers community - Rule violation LearnDelFamType_124 Kind regards,  Henry Thursday, December 19, 2024 12:38 PM Dear Helen,  Thank you for contacting us. This error is a known issue and it is incorrectly being triggered on SLD and FIS. This will not affect funding for the upcoming return until we have corrected this rule. Kind regards,  Henry
