The person concerned applied for a back to education allowance in respect of a FETAC level 5 course. The person concerned advised that she had already completed two FETAC level 5 courses. The application was refused on the grounds that she was not progressing her qualifications, which is one of the qualifying criteria. The claim was reviewed on 23 September 2013 and the decision was upheld.
