It isnt dodgy i had a cost of living grant from them back at beginning of year and thats how I signed in to send documents etc thats how I new about it it says 150 paid and the date 7.07.2026 so I dont no if that's the date it goes into bank or not but I haven't had a email yet to say successful or not

Well if it’s showing a payment to be made in 5 days I reckon you have been successful my account doesn’t show me anything at all so maybe it’s different when you have other grants off them and not just the school inform one as mine should show me 4 years of uniform grant applications and it doesn’t.

I think as you were signed in when you applied for the school grant so it linked to your account. Whereas we made accounts after so it didn't link maybe.

My friend just got an email to say she got it.

Some got their email at 12 oclock though so they probably do them in group emails
