Question:

141. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding a Student Universal Support Ireland appeal in respect of a person (details supplied). [10549/13]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

Officials in my Department have confirmed with Student Universal Support Ireland that the student in question appealed the original decision on his grant application to the appeals officer in SUSI and the original decision was overturned.

The grant application was reassessed and a letter issued to the student on 6th February 2013 requesting further documentation. When the requested documentation is returned the student will be notified directly of the outcome.
