The person concerned applied for Back to Education Allowance on 03 December 2021. This application was refused on 21 December 2021 on the grounds that it was a late application as the submission date was significantly beyond the requirement that it be no more than 30 days following the commencement of the course.
The person concerned was not happy with this decision and requested a review. This decision was reviewed and he was notified on 24 January 2022 that the original decision was upheld.
Based on the information that has now come to hand, a further review will be undertaken. An officer will be in touch with the person concerned shortly to progress this review.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
