I think they'll all be fine, they've just not been updated yet. There's certainly been nothing to suggest that they (by which I mean *all* non-reg aims) won't be rolled over.

Agree with Phil, but I'm hearing rumours that ARCs aren't being issued to all Asylum Seekers any more (there was definitely a backlog during the pandemic)... They should have *something* from the Home Office (possibly a "bail letter"?) with their date of application/arrival on, or if not, something from a solicitor would do at a push.

You're correct Ben, definitely wouldn't use partial ach on a programme aim.

So, they can't go to Gateway without the proof they've got M&E. Once you've got that, they'll go to Gateway and then, once they've completed their EPA, you can claim the completion payment, there is no real time limit to it.

Going to depend what hours they're working. If it's under 16 it might count as (capital U) Unemployed by the AEB definition. If it's more than that, just go for Low Wage, not worth assessing the benefit, just the wage.

Hi Mike So, there's no *official* funding rule definition of the gap. The month thing is because they'll appear on the PDSAT report if it's longer than a month, but that's so you can then explain it to auditors (and "they stopped one in July and didn't start the new one til September" is a reasonable explanation). In fact, the main thing you need to be careful of is the 120 day gap which QAR uses. Any transfer where there's not a new start within 120 days will be considered a fail on your QAR, but assuming they get to June this year and start the new one in September it should be fine (almost as though that's why they settled on 120 days for it...)

Shame it wasn't in Update today (see also: Why hasn't Inform been published for five months?).

Yes, they would, because Area Cost uplift is defined by delivery postcode, not learner home postcode. Somewhat of a vexed question as to whether you're entitled to Area Cost uplift for ALL delivery if you're delivering online...

Yeah, if some of your delivery generates Area Cost Uplift (ie is in London and the South East) and some doesn't (and check your delivery location postcodes aren't ZZ99 9ZZ!) that would explain the discrepancy.
