ILR for dependent child above 18

5) Yes, all three of us - we provided two reference numbers and got two tickets. One caseworker dealt with the application of myself and my wife, and at the same time the other one (in the neighbouring window) did that of our daughter. I was explicitly told not to worry for her, as her outcome would just follow our status.

That is a bit odd. In my case one case worker took both reference slips and dealt with the applications together. In fact the appointments were three hours apart but the case worker said it was okay to have them together.

This is incorrect too. I am in the same situation, so I am quite familiar with the rules and regulations for this situation. To be eligible for "Home fee" status and for Student Support(loan, grants etc). Your son should have settled status (ILR) by the "First day of First academic year"of his course(defined 1st September the year he started) .
No, you havent interpreted this correctly although you do say you know the rules by being in this situation.

You are correct about Home fee status at the start of the session, 1st or 15th Sept doesnt make a difference, so you should get this status when you get ILR.

However this rule doesnt apply to Student Loans, you just have to have settled status. if your application was rejected for this reason, you can contest it. However the problem as I see it is that at present you dont have ILR and the student loan status would already have been decided, on your current status.
You will be able to get this , if not this year, next year. i know of student loan being approved during the second year when ILR was obtained during that time.

the same rule does apply to student loans, you have to be settled on the first day of the first academic year of the course

See category 1

Interesting, perhaps this has changed from earlier years! I know of course from personal experience that student loan has been awarded after the first year due to change in status ie getting ILR.

Agree, I also expected that our applications would be dealt with by the same caseworker but this was not the case. I actually mentioned that to our caseworker and got "not to worry" back... Regarding appointment slots, indeed the original bookings might be quite far apart in time, but important are the actual "queue tokens" allocated to you during the initial "check-in" at PEO (according to which you'll be later called in to a caseworker). So, if you all come together at PEO then you get two neighbouring slots (or maybe even just one for all).

Mate, I know I am right on this as I've been fighting for my case for about an year now.

Sadly, this is true. The rules have been changed in the Education (Student Support) Regulations 2009.

applying myself this Friday with my wife and daughter who is 20, and have a question that might be relevant for the OP, too:

When a dependant child over 18 is applying at the same time with his/her parents, one must use a separate SET(O) form.
But which category should one tick in Section 3 of the form:
- the same as the main applicant (e.g. Tier 1/2, Work permit, etc)?
- or "Other" with further comments of his dependant status in the empty field at the bottom of the page?

"Dependant" category is not listed anywhere in the form, so I'm a bit in confusion what to tick...
Mark the same category as yours or you can use the option you mention, it doesnt make any difference. You should use SET O form only.

hi. gidoc,
i know you can help me. it seem you have a lot of knowledge and experience on the matter.
I started applying to some universities two months ago.
WE dont have or ILR yet, but it was applied on post. Like others i'm over 18 and entirely dependent to my parents.. All the universities I applied replied an offer butthe considered me as an international student. Hopefully we're gonna received the ILR on March. I will star my University on September. Can I change my status to home student as soon as I received my ILR. because I am very much worried about the high tuition fee....
thank you very much
