I am afraid that the response does not progress the query I have any further. Perhaps I should also outline that the lady was refused the student maintenance grant because she was in receipt of jobseeker's allowance, but she was not in receipt of it because she had to forgo it in order to go back to education. The current appeal process for SUSI, which I accept relates to a different Department, has meant she has had to drop out of college. We should be trying to help people. It affects a person's mental health when they want to further their education but they are left in a position where they cannot.
