Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland that the applicant referred to by the Deputy has been awarded a grant and an award letter issued on 20th November 2012.

If the applicant considers that the grant awarded is not the correct one, he may appeal in the first instance to SUSI. Where an individual applicant has had an appeal turned down in writing by SUSI and remains of the view that the scheme has not been interpreted correctly in his/her case, an appeal form outlining the position may be submitted by the applicant to the independent Student Grant Appeals Board. The relevant appeal form will be available on request from SUSI.
