That answers my question. The 300 cases within €50 of the limit also vividly illustrate my point. Certain people will not even apply. If the €50 was broadened to €100, €200, €300 or €500 there would be a serious number of cases. We know €500 would not carry anybody across the road when it comes to going to college. As front-line practitioners, what changes do the witnesses suggest should be made to bring flexibility into the system?
