Amending / Cancelling / Reinstating a Claim |
|
All Learners wishing to withdraw from their chosen learning activity should contact their Education staff. Single Service procedures and Notes for Guidance must be referred to. Learners are reminded that re-instatement of an ELC instalment is only permitted for those who have to withdraw from a course of study because of operational or compassionate circumstances. Further details can be found at paragraph 28 & 29 of JSP 898 Part 4 Chpt 3.
What is not acceptable for consideration of re-instatement of an ELC instalment is where an individual has started a course and failed to carry the learning through to completion because either the course did not meet their expectation or they simply gave up through lack of commitment.
Scheme members who request a reinstatement under such circumstances risk forfeiting their ELC instalment and membership eligibility of the ELC scheme. If ELCAS has already generated a payment file for the learning activity then the Learner should follow the Single Service reinstatement procedure NOT the cancellation procedure. Outlines of these procedures along with the necessary forms are available through the links from this page.
