Amending / Cancelling / Reinstating a Claim
All Learners wishing to withdraw from their chosen learning activity or amend course dates should contact their designated Education Staff following the guidance in the below table.
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 in JSP 822.
Individuals who give up a course through lack of commitment will not be considered for reinstatement of an ELC instalment. This also applies if they withdraw because the course did not meet their expectations.
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 reinstatement procedure NOT the cancellation procedure.
