Officials in my Department have confirmed that the student referred to by the Deputy has appealed the decision of the awarding authority to the independent Student Grants Appeals Board. The appeal was considered by the Appeals Board on 4th March 2014 and the decision issued directly to the student on 5th March 2014.
