Maintenance Funds below for 2 hours by 1.20 GBP

Post by OmarSarfraz » Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:13 pm

My maintenance funds requirement of 800 pounds fell below today by 1.20 when my bank statement showed an unexpected withdrawal of money without a description. I did not withdraw this amount myself and confused. However this meant my balance on 6 august showed 798.99.
I immediately placed 5 pounds back to make it 803. However at the end of the day my balance is 803 above the required.

I happened to read the section 101 of application guidance as follows

Where an applicant is providing
evidence of maintenance from a single
account, we will always assess the funds
available to an applicant from the closing
balance given on the document provided.

Does this mean I am fine?
all other times I had above 1000 GBP

if caseworker spots this anomaly( i.e. less than 800 pounds), he/she is within her right to refuse your app.

your options....

1) request paper statements, hopefully this will not be highlighted (but it varies from bank to bank)
2) cover this amount, by showing you had 1.20 in one of your other accounts on xyz date
