I can confirm to the Deputy that an appeal was received by my Department on 17/11/10 from the student to which he refers in relation to an unsuccessful application for a student grant.
The appeal was examined and a decision issued to the student on 18/11/2010.
The original decision of the awarding authority was upheld as the reckonable income in this case exceeded the income limits prescribed for grant eligibility in the applicable grant scheme.
