Just applied the other day for a short break. Wondering how long it's taking at the moment to hear back. I'm quite excited, I hope they say yes! We've not been away in years!

Yes at the beginning of January, not heard anything as yet.

I applied in December and got the grant at the end of January, so it was just over a month. We were given £250 for day trips, which we've sent on passes to a few local attractions, as DS likes the predictable of going to the same places over and over.

I applied in jan. had a letter about 2 weeks later saying we've been rejected. Don't get help with anything 😪

It depends what you have asked for, I got an email asking to confirm bank details then money paid to me for days out, but for a lot of there grants they have set suppliers and you get vouchers.

I have not been asked to provide evidence for what I spent, but was told to keep receipts (I think for 1 year) in case they want to check later.

You don’t have to pay it back, it’s a grant, not a loan.
