I understand that the students to which the Deputy refers, recently appealed the decision of the Appeals Officer in SUSI to the statutory independent Student Grants Appeals Board (SGAB).

Their appeals will be heard within the 60 day timeframe set out in the Student Support Act 2011. The decision of the SGAB will be communicated directly to the students in due course.
