How to apply

Apply when you recover
As a rule, we don’t provide illness grants forward in time. You must therefore wait until you have recovered or until the academic year is over before applying.
Lånekassen must receive your application for an illness grant within six months after the end of the academic year or the course.
Assessment time
Your case will be processed by a Case Officer and you should expect it to take some time before you receive an answer.
