Childcare grant - uni

Hello all, I am just wondering if anyone has any experience of applying for a childcare grant alongside tuition fee loan and maintenance loan?

I applied on the day applications became available - eager beaver- I think this was early March. My tuition fee loan and maintenance loan were all approved and in place within four weeks. My childcare grant still just says - we will contact you when we have assessed your eligibility for CCG.

I'm just really wondering what the time frame for this usually is? Everything I've read seems to suggest six weeks but that has long since been and gone. It's not urgent, but it would be helpful if we knew whether we were eligible so we can plan finances for September!

Yes they had really poor staffing levels due to covid. Couldn't even get on the website most days
