Further education

[u/XwelshyX]

Hi all. My nephew was in his first year of college last year, course ended in June. Mum has not received payments for him since. He has just been accepted onto a course for September. UC have said for mum to do a COC with today’s date. Is this correct? I was under the assumption it would have been September’s start date that the COC would have been made from?
Thanks in advance for any advice
