    They have a list of grant due dates somewhere. I know that not much help but its somewhere on SAAs site. I think that limericks grant is one of the last to go through. Did you not post about that somewhere here?

    There's a link at the bottom of this page that lets you download a spreadsheet showing the cheques that have arrived. Ones from Limerick arrived on Friday, so however long it'll take them to process the cheques now.

    Mine went into my account on Friday, which was a nice surprise when I checked my balance yesterday. :)

    Likewise,
    Request Receipt at AIB ATMs when I come by them,
    Usually at Ulster Bank ones which don't tell me,
    To see how poor I am...
    How my eyes lit up :')

    Its so stupid giving them out now. they should have them given out before Easter when people actually need the money for rent and bills.

    Twill depend. If you were any way close to the thresholds I think you'll have to send in proof of income and stuff again. If you were well within the thresholds you'll simply get a get a letter saying "Have your circumstances changed in any of the following ways: X, Y, Z" and if they have you have to let them know. At least that's what happened for me anyway.

    And I agree it's irritating not getting it until so late, but just be grateful you got the payments earlier in the year. In first year I received nothing until the end of April when suddenly there was €6,000 extra in my account one night. :pac:

    Well I say because the income has changed and im even more in the threshold then i was last years application! which hopefully means more money!

    Does anyone have any idea when the 3rd installment from Limerick County council will be lodged?

    The link I posted in Post #3 is the only way to find out AFAIK. If it's not there I don't think anyone could do anything other than a wild guess tbh.

    You can ring LCC and ask to speak to someone about the grants. WCC told me the end of the month :(

    In theory it should be dealt with quicker, but it isn't. Although I'm speaking from a Meath Co. Co. point of view and they are shocking.
