    Appeal it then

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Seems to be a common occurance. I know of people who only qualified for fees but got full adjacent rate and people who should of got full adjacent rate who only got a half rate adjacent grant.

    The whole thing is a shambles. I've been battling with them myself for the past few months, they keep telling me I never sent in stuff but yet they got other docs that were in the same folder, sent it by email and post.

    Yes. You have nothing to lose by appealing

    I too got the wrong grant, applied on the first day, got my letter on the 30th of January, I was delighted.... until I saw what I was being awarded. -.- My Heaven's, they just cant seem to get their stuff together, i'm recieving half of what I should be recieving.
