Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that the applicant referred to by the Deputy appealed the original decision of the awarding authority regarding progression and a grant award letter issued on 12th April, 2013. The applicant was unhappy with the level of award and subsequently appealed this decision to SUSI on 10th May,

the outcome.
