Mr. John McKeon:
If he or she goes on the back-to-education allowance scheme, the payment is maxed-up to the full adult rate. If a person does not get the SUSI grant because he or she is living at home with his or her parents, he or she can still get the back-to-education allowance from us, which in many respects is more favourable than the SUSI grant.
