REDUCED FEE SYSTEM
What Is It And How Easy Is It To Apply, Really?
If you are struggling to find your class fees……”Ask Yvonne”.
That’s really how easy it can be.
If you are in receipt of Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance or Working
Tax Credit you may qualify for an assisted place for your child/children
to attend Pre-School Music classes.
The amount that we will reduce your fees by is directly affected by your
income.
If you are receiving Income support or Job Seekers allowance you will
qualify for a 75% reduction in your class fees and annual subscription:
ie. Your annual subscription would be £2.50 instead of £10.
If your income is below £12,500 a year and you have one or more children we will pay for 75% of your class fees.
If your annual income is between £12,501 and £15,000 we will contribute 50%.
If your income each year is between £15,001 and £17,500 you
may still be entitled to help, but this time it would be 25%.
To make a claim you have to show us a copy of either your benefit award
notice (form TC602) or other relevant paperwork such as your latest income
support letter showing your home address. Send it to the PRESMA office
marked “Private and Confidential”,
for the attention of Yvonne Bell, Treasurer, or if you would rather, take
it in person.
The Treasurer will assess your claim and will inform you if your application
has been successful.
We require proof of your need for assistance at the start of each September
(for our own accounting purposes) or when your form TC602 expires and
we would expect you to notify us of any changes in your circumstances
as soon as possible.
