The candidate referred to by the Deputy was awarded the full non-adjacent rate of grant for the 2009 academic year. I understand that the candidate did not qualify for the Special Rate of maintenance grant as total reckonable income in this case exceeded the qualifying threshold and the awarding authority's decision in this regard was upheld on appeal by my Department. If there has since been a change of circumstances with regard to reckonable income, the candidate may apply to the awarding authority to be re-assessed on that basis.
