So, after taking 18 months out from my PhD to recover from the accident, and having gone through the rigmarole of suspending my studies THREE times, I have now been told that I might no longer be entitled to the fee waiver I had before.
Baring in mind that the fees are SEVERAL THOUSAND pounds, and I currently have a weekly income of £28, if I am unabkle to sort it out, I won’t be returning to my studies, which is a pisser, especially as I have just spent loads of money on my 5×4 kit!
In the end, I had to email Paul Seawright and see if he remembered the original agreement – as I had forgotten, and the only other person who knows the details has retired! Paul has moved to another university, (Ulster,) but fortunately was still very helpful and seems to think I should be ok – just as long as I haven’t changed my mode of study…probably!
What a carry on!
