100. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the reason SUSI has failed to address a query lodged by this Deputy's office six weeks ago in respect of person (details supplied) except for a repeat response; the reason SUSI has failed to clarify which document can be provided in place of a notice of assessment from the Revenue Commissioners; the reason SUSI has failed to clarify the reason a previously submitted profit and loss account for 2015 in respect of a second property has not been accepted despite persistent contact from this Deputy's office; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I understand that the student referred to by the Deputy was advised by the awarding authority that in order for his application to be fully assessed, specific documentation was required.  To date, this specific information has not been received and the student was refused a grant on the basis that he had not provided the specific documentary evidence requested. 

If an individual applicant considers that she/he has been unjustly refused a student grant or that the rate of grant awarded is not the correct one, she/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 Grants Appeals Board within the required timeframe.
