The person concerned applied for and was refused participation in the Back to Education Allowance (BTEA) Scheme. She was informed of this decision by letter dated 7/10/2020 and afforded the option of seeking a review if she was not satisfied with the decision of the deciding officer.

On the basis of supporting documentation provided by the person concerned, the BTEA application was reviewed and has been approved. The person concerned was advised of the outcome in writing on 30/10/2020.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
