Spring Term Free Entitlement Payments

Please be advised that Spring term payments have now been released for:

  • Free Entitlement actuals where there are no outstanding queries.
  • Disability Access Fund (DAF) for all approved applications where evidence was provided.

Payments can take 3-5 working days to show in your account, so please expect payments at any point during week commencing 24 February 2020.

Don’t forget, even though the Online Provider Portal is now closed for Spring term submissions, you can still log back in to view your payment summary. Please refer to the guidance available to show you how to check www.westsussex.gov.uk/ecsportal.

If you have any queries please email free.entitlement@westsussex.gov.uk.
