Bursary Payments suck!

Hi all,
am a student nurse and claim dependents for 4 of my kids which I applied for in August, last month they were supposed to pay me £500, did they? NO! They managed to lose all the paperwork, so resent it all in. So have just phoned to make sure they are paying me next week and they havent even looked at my paperwork and cant even tell me if they have recieved the 2nd lot, so am going to be £500 short next week, they will then owe me £1000, am so annoyed, how the hell am I supposed to pay my bills, had to borrow £200 for the car 2 weeks ago and thats got to be paid back next week. Think I need a money tree, because I am not getting any money from bursary.
There you go rant over, good job I bought extra dog and cat food last week, because it looks like the kids and me are going to starve!

You poor thing - they really couldn't give a s*it about what problems they cause by their incompetence!

Student funding is a nightmare. The very best I could hope for is a £400 student loan, which wouldn't even cover my travel expenses for 6 months, let alone be enough to live off for a year. Loads of people have had to drop out of uni because the funding is so bad, that they just can't afford to go any more

Have managed to get in touch with student finance and have an appointment with them tomorrow to see if they can give me a loan of £300 just so I can pay the bare minimum on bills til November 18th. I do get child benefit and ctc, so not completely on my backside, very lucky, but it still means the larger bills are going to have to take a back seat, luckily have lots of blankets and candles so if the leccy and gas get cut off we'll at least be warm lol, they havent been paid since August! oops lol. Never mind, worse things happen at sea I suppose x

i was meant to get m first bursary payment begining of sept and still have not got one ,,, they keep wanting a letter from here a letter from there , i dont know why they just cant ask for them all at the same time as the funding application instead of one at a time grrrrrrr

i think it is disgusting how you get noo help you are a student i have a 15month old son i have also decided to train as a nurse but since they have changed frm a diploma to degree i dont have the grades to get onto a degree course as they want 3 a levels soo iam currently re doing my gcses in maths and english with learn direct and also studying for degree in health and socail with the open university.me and my partner decided that i would be best for me to eave my job that i had when i got pregenant after my mat leave as the childcare was to much for us i would have be going to work to pay for sum1 to look after my child and not seen any of my wages as the goverment see that coz my partner is a self emeployed plaster n we couldnt get any help towards childcare cost.soo since last year i have been looking for a job that would be feliable round my partner but had noo luck not even had an interview (i get the feeling my age and that i have a son goo agianest me even tho i have worked since leaveing school)!!!and once leavin work me and partner begain to struggle ova christmas and as i result i had to goo to the job center to be told iam not enetiled to nothing!!even tho i had worked!!!they didnt take into account the fact that iam re doing my gcses and gaining a degree to get a good job it feels the harder u work the harder life is made for u.
