Common confusion points
Confusing repayment *amount* with the total debt owed; make sure you are agreeing to a monthly payment, not just the full lump sum.
Thinking signing means approval; it means formal agreement. You still need to follow the terms!
Not knowing which SRSS funding stream this specific agreement applies to (e.g., refugee support vs. temporary visa support).
Submitting it before paying the first instalment, leading to delays in processing.
