The person concerned submitted an application for a back to education allowance in 2015 which was not approved on the basis that he did not fulfil the eligibility criteria to participate in this scheme.

The grounds for the original refusal may not have been clear to the individual and therefore we will contact the customer and identify the required documentation that would be required to support his request for a review.

I trust this clarifies the mater for the Deputy.
