Mr. Lammy: The Student Loans Company (SLC) has provided the following information on applications to 13 December 2009. Students do not specifically apply for grants. However, eligibility is determined by means testing and where means testing has been specifically requested this has been included as a guide to determining number of applicants who wish to be considered for maintenance or special support grant.
I am advised that Student Finance England is now processing applications within normal time scales. It is still receiving around 1,000 new applications per week which will typically be processed within six weeks if all the required information and evidence has been provided.
The SLC regularly provides high level processing and payment figures on their website and I am advised it will continue to do so on a monthly basis.
