    Yep- i'm gona be under serious pressure until first of feb- living on 25-30 quid a a week I'd say


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,370 ✭✭✭GAAman


    I am the same rent is due today so it was supposed to be perfect timing and the landlord would not let me leave decembers rent until jan and pay two months (not like it was Christmas or anythin :rolleyes: ) so there is no chance they will let me do it now AND i have an exam tomorrow mornin with this crap on my mind! :mad:

    Stupid me for thinking they would actually do what they said i keep forgetting at heart they are the corpo!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭Poor_old_gill


    Ah well- tuna and toast for the month- its doable, just go to all the shops and get what ever is on sale. possible to live on 20 quid a week

    The 1st Feb is a Monday, I thought the grant was paid into bank accounts on a Friday,at least the first installment was.

    You cant really base all your assumptions on how the first installment was paid!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 112 ✭✭Mother Duck


    At least you guys got first installment :p

    Anyone know if this Civil Service Go Slow will have any impact on the grant next week.

    Well.....rather then typin everything out again im just gonna copy what i have wrote on the main grant thread

    Just to let people know i got the remittance advice email this morning so the grant should be in my account in around 2 days (took that to clear last time)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,370 ✭✭✭GAAman

    i haven't got an email yet,good to know it has started though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 378 ✭✭Einstein?


    Hey, remember they are supposed to send a email the day before it gets transacted. Well today its Sunday so its highly unlikely. Maybe you'll receive the email tomorrow and the money will be in your bank on Monday as well. Possibly on Tuesday, but all fingers crossed!

    Please reply to this thread if you have any updates or if you get it.

    Thanks :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    I will be given them a call in the morning,also has anyone else other than GAA recieved their 2nd instalment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    The DCC grants section phone number is 01 2222161.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 108 ✭✭joekeville

    It depends on your living conditions. Around 900e, give or take.

    p.s still hasn't arrived yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    Give them a call tomorrow,I did this morning and due to a clerical error(BullShirt), my grant is delayed until Friday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 889 ✭✭✭Bajingo

    Mine hasnt gone in yet either..i'll be ringing them tomorrow..

    ..I never get emails before hand?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 378 ✭✭Einstein?


    Yeah I'm guessing mine is delayed too but don't know 'till when.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 84 ✭✭Master Bates


    It always amazes me how people never seem to learn how to manage their cash. Everyone knows there are likely to be delays, yet they're still broksie woksie when waiting for their grant.

    Get a grip you lot!

    masterbates such a great name by the way..........some people dont have that option for example being sent on erasmus and not being able to earn money or just the fact some people are genuinely poor and dont have jobs(it is a recession).you don't know anyones personal circumstances and how much they may rely on a grant.you seem to preach alot so maybe something you will learn in time is, that not everyones circumstances are the same as yours and some people may have bigger outgoings,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,885 ✭✭✭PomBear


    any chance i'll get it before friday?

    Try giving them a ring.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 39 Jaybl


    I rang them up today and they said it will be sometime during the next two weeks. Depending on which college you go to. Because before we get it the colleges have to confirm whos still attending.

    I sent them an email and this is what I got in return:

    "We are waiting on a file from college to verify attendance of students for 2nd term as soon as we receive it your 2nd instalment will go to your bank account."

    :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    I am going into them on Thursday if I don't get the email confirmation Tomorrow,this is dragging out far too long,

    Go to your records office and ask for a sheet to prove you are registered for the second semiester and bring it to Wood Quay,if you are not in Dublin ring the DCC grants office, ask for a fax number and fax the sheet in tomorrow morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,885 ✭✭✭PomBear


    Got the email today, but my account hasn't been credited:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    Got mine too, it will take max 48hrs to clear,look forward to speaking to you all in April;)

    The cheque usually didn't take long, ffs.

    You would thought the government had a joint account with the banks ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    Most Cheques take five days at the very least,just be happy it is over.

    I dont get these emails..but if you're all getting yours in 48 hours..does that mean I should be getting mine too? Or is it actually college dependent as another poster said?

    As far as I know the DCC is ready to send them out. However, the college's registry are working slow in sending them lists of which students are continuing their second semester.

    I'm in DCU and the exams only finished a week ago or so, and right now their working with the above. I'm expecting mine to come sometime next week if not earlier.

    LOL true,

    All the other colleges finished their exams ages ago. I guess will' get it at the same time or so.

    The registry said 'a few days' yesterday, I don't know what a few days mean but from what I've seen that could be next year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 Stephy


    Well pay day for most people is on a thursday night after 12, so hopefully we'll get it tomorow :)
