The process of reviewing the income limits, rates of grant and other aspects of the general criteria of the 2007 Maintenance Grant Schemes is a priority in my Department at present. The rules and guidelines for the Special Rates of Maintenance Grant will be examined as part of this process. Decisions on the 2007 schemes will be announced as soon as the process is completed.
