Good Evening all, I am a silent user of this forum, and I will like to get some support regarding the SLC and COA. I have been going back and forth with student finance as they refuse to award a temporary loan for my studies I started this February. These are the responses I got from the stage two caseworker after sending the COA link to her. Pls, see below.
Dear Ms xxx
Thank you for your email to the Stage 2 mailbox of the Formal Appeals department that was received on the 8 July 2022 following the Stage 2 Formal Appeal response provided to you on 22 June 2022.
Within your email you have provided the access to student finance in England late application to EU Settlement Scheme guidance. I can confirm that the Student Loans Company (SLC) has taken this into consideration. I appreciate you submitted your
a European Union Settlement Scheme (EUSS) application on 11 February 2022 and the guidance you have provided states:
Once a valid application has been made to the EUSS (evidenced by receipt of a certificate of application (COA)), the applicant will have temporary protection, pending the outcome of that application.
Unfortunately has your EUSS application outcome is still pending having temporary protection does mean you have been granted a status through the EUSS. Therefore, the SLC must review your eligibility for support on the basis of your Leave to Remain (LTR) immigration status as stipulated in your Formal Appeal Stage 2 response which is in accordance with the Education (Student Support) Regulations 2011 (as amended).
Therefore, I must inform you that the regulations have been applied correctly and unfortunately your Formal Appeal remains unsuccessful.
Yours sincerely
