So: I got my funding.
I am yet to see a penny though.
My university have told me the AHRC failed to send a list of who was owed what with the grant money, as a result despite them receiving the money on 16th September, I am yet to receive a penny. In fact, the cheque (which I'm yet to see) won't have cleared until over a month after this date.
All my University can do is offer me an 'emergency loan' which goes on my record, and understandably I want to avoid!
How long can I reasonably be expected to wait until I see a penny?
