Check your Documentation When applying for a student grant you will be asked to provide a number of documents in support of your application. Although the closing date for applications is generally not until the end of August, it is very important to start assembling the documents you need well before then. Sometimes there can be a delay in obtaining certain documents. Documents detailing income generally relate to the previous year: e.g. if you are applying for a student grant for 2011-12, you will be asked for a P60 for the year 2010. The Guidance Notes for the Student Grant have full details on the relevant documentary evidence required to be submitted with your application. The responsibility is with the applicant to submit the correct documentary evidence with a completed online or hard-copy application. A quick and easy way to deal with your tax affairs is by using PAYE self-service. You can view your own tax record, request tax refunds, request a review of your tax liability, claim a wide range of tax credits or allocate tax credits between you and your spouse. You can also request a copy of your P21.
