The way it was done was to get the University Registry to agree to register a student as full time even though they weren't. The student then did the number of modules they felt they could manage (in agreement with the department) and were given additional reading. The LEAs seemed to be happy and gave the students their grant and DSA. If you wish to have more information, such as which LEAs and more details about the circumstances then please email me direct.
