The FAS may issue an applicant with written notice that their application will lapse unless the applicant responds to the notice within 6 months.[1] If the applicant does not respond to the notice within 6 months of the notice being given, the application will lapse at the end of the 6-month period.
If an application lapses, an applicant can reapply for assistance. Such applications will be subject to the time limits that apply to the FAS (see above for further information).
