    Quick question re: living grant for PGDL and now SQE1/2. Say a firm gives you 15K.. Is that over supposed to be used for the two years for both courses at ULaw/BPP, or is it 15K PER year for each of the PGDL and SQE1/2? @Jessica Booker

    Question for Bakers - is VI automatic after WG? Or do you have to pass WG in order to receive VI? Just finished up WG.
