Child Care Allowance
The CDA is intended to provide additional support for eligible full-time students who have parental responsibility for a dependent child or children under the age of 15 (or under the age of 17 if the child has special educational needs) on the first day of the academic year for which they are applying. A non-repayable grant of £1000 per eligible student is available for each academic year of the course.
Also, there's an extra £1000 available for childcare, on top of the existing £1000 CDA.
Travel and Dual Accommodation Expenses (TDAE)
The TDAE allowance provides reimbursement towards excess travel and accommodation costs you may incur whilst attending a placement as part of your course. In order to apply you must meet the general eligibility criteria for the Learning Support Fund, have registered an account on the Learning Support Fund Application System and sent in a copy of your current academic years student loan notification letter if you have not already provided this.
You should submit your application and all requested evidence within nine months of the last date of your placement.
