View answerThe decision on eligibility for a student grant is a matter for the relevant grant awarding authority i.e. the applicant's local authority or VEC.
As neither my Department nor the independent Appeals Boards has received an appeal from the student in question, it would appear that a decision on her application is still pending.
I would advise the student to make contact with her grant awarding authority to ascertain the position.
