Claim for payment if the student has died

If a student dies, another person can claim Fares Allowance on their behalf.

They can do this if the person has travelled but hasn’t submitted a claim.

Unless special circumstances apply, they must submit a claim either:

  • within 26 weeks of the student’s death
  • by 31 March of the following year, whichever is earlier.
